  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 1-lb. loaf crusty bread, warmed

Method
 

  1. Smash garlic on a cutting board with the flat side of a chef’s knife, and finely chop. Finely chop anchovy fillets and mash into garlic until a paste forms.
  2. Pour both oils onto a large shallow platter or rimmed plate. Stir garlic-anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the oil.
  3. Stir together chives, parsley, lemon zest, and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over oil mixture. Serve immediately with warm bread for dipping and scooping. Recipe developed by Marianne Williams
