Recipes from Le Tasting Room’s kitchen – rosemary and anchovy dressing

Fabulous with a rare rib of beef or a juicy bavette, this easy, tasty dressing makes a lovely accompaniment. All you need is some potatoes and a few salad leaves.

You’ll need:

6 anchovy fillets *see note 1

A large stem of fresh rosemary

The juice of half a lemon

Olive oil

Sea salt

Method:

Finely chop the anchovies. Squeeze the lemon juice and finely chop the rosemary leaves.

Put the finely chopped rosemary in a mortar with a pinch of sea salt and pound it until you have a rough paste.

Add the chopped anchovies and the lemon juice and keep pounding until it’s all mixed together.

Add a little olive oil mixing well with the pestle until it’s a nice thick emulsion.

Et voila!

Notes:

  1. If using salted anchovies use 3 or 4 and rinse them under running water to remove the excess salt then dry in kitchen paper.
