Pintrest
I thought I'd show you what I took to a dinner party Saturday night. Since it was the weekend after Thanksgiving, and I thought everyone might be looking for a fresh, lo-cal nibble, I fixed this guy. In full disclosure, this is not a photo of my dish, as I forgot to snap before I had it in the car. This photo is from Pintrest, but, I'm not kidding, mine looked exactly like this one!! And I have to say that even though they were all adults, I think the guests got a giggle out of it. Cute as it was, it couldn't hold a candle to the rest of the truly delicious meal we were treated to!
To accompany it, I made this dip that has been a family favorite for a long time. Do NOT be afraid of the anchovies in it. I promise you, that if you don't mention them, nobody will be frightened off. BTW, this keeps for several days. Enjoy!
Lemon-Anchovy Dipping
Sauce
(You’ll
never know there are anchovies in this!
Even those who think they hate them will love it!)
2
egg yolks
3-4
T. Dijon
Mustard
2”
squirt of anchovy paste(from metal tube)
Juice
of 1 lemon
1
shallot
Capers
to taste
1
c. (or less) vegetable oil
¼
c. sour cream
Salt
and pepper
Combine
1st 6 ingredients in food processor.
With
machine running, add oil a little at
a
time until thick and creamy. You may
not
need all of the oil. Stir in sour cream
and
seasonings. Garnish with a lemon twist and
a
couple of capers.
Great
with pea pods, sugar snap peas, peppers, squash, tiny corn ears, green beans,
or any vegetable.
I
use the left over sauce as a mayonnaise on a sandwich, or thin it a bit for a
salad dressing.
It will be a late entry, but I'm joining:
