Anchoïade
Also known as: Anchoïade provençale
Provençal anchovy and garlic dip emulsified with red-wine vinegar and olive oil.

About Anchoïade
Anchoïade is a typical Provençal sauce and dip built around salt-cured anchovies, garlic and olive oil. This profile follows Provence-based cookbook author Patricia Wells's red-wine-vinegar version.
Anchovies provide intense saline savouriness, sharpened by raw garlic and red-wine vinegar. Olive oil turns those assertive flavours into a rounded, rich emulsion with a peppery finish.
The sauce is smooth, glossy and beige-gold, with a thick but pourable texture. It clings readily to vegetables while retaining the concentrated character of anchovy and garlic.
