Season: Spring and summer, depending on the vegetables you find!

Difficulty: Easy

What are we drinking?

– White wine

– A local beer

Ingredients :

For the vegetables

  • Radish
  • Celery heart
  • Purple artichoke
  • Small green salad peppers
  • Carrots
  • Courgettes from Nice

For the anchoïade (a hot sauce made with anchovies, garlic and olive oil)

  • Anchovy fillets

And to finish …

Recipe :

For the vegetables

  • Cut the carrots, peppers, courgettes and celery into sticks.
  • Prepare the artichokes, cut them into quarters.
  • Cut the radishes into roses and let them soak in ice water for 10 min (with all the other vegetables). This makes them crunchier!

  • In a saucepan sauté the garlic in olive oil over medium heat, add the anchovy fillets. Once they are well melted, remove the pan from the heat and add a little pepper and olive oil. NO NEED TO ADD SALT
