It doesn’t contain pounds of melted cheese, or come in a
bread bowl, but what it does have going for it, is simple, rustic goodness, and
proven crowd appeal. Besides, unlike those other "hot dips," this one actually stays hot.
I think about five minutes is perfect, but many people cook
it much longer. Other than that, the hardest part of this recipe is deciding on
what to drunk in this ancient dip. Anything goes, but as I mentioned in the
video, some chunks of crusty bread are highly recommended. I hope you give this
bagna cauda a try soon. Enjoy!
UPDATE: I'm hearing from my friends in Northern Italy that they use TWICE as much anchovy and garlic as I did. So, be advised.

Mmmm it seems a little too much oil...
Every time i have made it the garlic is much, much more of only that and is boiled 3 time in milk to take out the stodge by it.

Hey CJ : any instructions for roasting up some those beau-tiful carrots and maybe the timing for blanching them asparagus to bathe (and as usual enjoy) in this hotness?
Thanks!
For the geeks in the audience who know the series "Babylon 5", this is the dish that Garibaldi makes to celebrate his birthday. I never even knew how to spell it! So now I have to make this. (Off to the store for crusty bread and anchovies...)
what would you say to using balsamic instead of red wine vinegar?
I like how you are so not serious. Not only are you a good teacher, you make me laugh.
NoUseForAName, I just roasted carrots at 425 until tender! I can't give times, since it depends on the sizes. Same for asp. Just blanch for a minutes.
Re: other vinegar... If you like it, use it!
Chef, you have been using a lot of anchovies lately. Are you at all concerned that you may turn into an anchovy?
Hey, Chef. I have a food wish that I would love to see you tackle. I want your take on a Chicago style stuffed pizza. I have had a terrible time replicating the dough and I miss it terribly. Hopefully you are not too much of a traditionalist with pizza to not consider it!
love it, and i have all those things for the dip.
thanks,
I had the most fantastic bagna cauda in Piemonte Italy and they had, as the other commenter suggests, pre simmered the garlic in milk. Not for the stodge, more to avoid bitterness and insert sweetness, which it was, exquisitely. You are indeed a most excellent video maker, quick clever and funny. Like an anchovy.
Great dip!....I just can't hear what type of chili flake you mention in the youtube vid
My family is from Northern Italy and while visiting recently they roasted cauliflower with this sauce. I liked it but it was quite strong and definitely had an anchovy taste. Hey John have you ever done any Sous Vide style cooking. I'm just exploring the possibilities.
Ciao
What is your warmer manufacturer?
Hi Chef John! I was wondering if you have a suggestion for a way to thicken this. I usually like my dips to stick a little better.
Do you have any recommendations? Or would it be blasphemous to change the recipe that drastically?
Let me know! Thanks!
