BLT's anyone?
Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato sandwiches....with anchovy mayo? Oh yeah baby!
It's salty with a rather strong taste so be ready for it. My husband was eating it from a spoon and his eyes rolled back in his head. From that I would guess he liked it uh?
Now I know oodles of people say they don't like anchovy. However my experience has been that it is the way it is served or the idea of those little salty fishies sitting your plate that gives people pause. Did I ever tell you about the time I fooled some of my closet friends with an appetizer that contained anchovy and they didn't know it? They raved about the roasted red peppers and scarfed it all down all the while singing my praises. I did not tell them until afterward that it had anchovy in it. They all sat there kinda looking around like she's kidding right? This is a cruel trick. Nope. The anchovies were heated into the sauce so you never actually saw them. They just added flavor. These friends are now converts to the whole anchovy controversy.
We like our BLT's with bread that is slightly toasted and I use whole wheat cause I just have to. I can't buy white bread anymore. It makes me feel healthier.
The ingredients for the mayo:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 med garlic cloves
- 5 drained canned anchovy fillet
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Give it a try. And once you have think about this. How about some grilled tuna with that mayo? And my personal favorite tomato sandwiches. Fantastic!
