  • 5-6 anchovies
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Heat oil and gently sizzle anchovies and garlic, stirring over low heat until anchovies soften and break up. Remove from heat and add cream and lemon juice. Season with pepper, salt should not be needed. Makes ¾ cup. Dressing will keep in fridge for several days.
