- 3 anchovies
- 1 tablespoon capers drained
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic minced
- ½ cup basil
- 1½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and chop. Add olive oil until you get a smoother texture. Serve with crackers or slices of toasted baguette.
- I serve it in a "weck" pot like the ones you buy to put the mousse de foie gras in. It is a rustic presentation.

Notes
- Choose high-quality ingredients - Be sure to use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes. Look for ones packed in olive oil and guaranteed to be plump and moist.
- If you add olives, ensure they have a rich and brine flavor. Also, always use fresh and aromatic garlic cloves.
- Additionally, use extra virgin olive oil for the absolute best flavor.
- Balance the flavors - Taste as you go and adjust the ingredients for the best flavor profile.
- Pay attention to texture - Preferences in terms of texture vary, so adjust the texture to your personal preference. Adjust the amount of olive oil or blend more or less.
- Season well - When you are using only a few ingredients, seasoning appropriately is crucial. In addition to salt and pepper, you can enhance the flavor by adding fresh herbs.
