Anchovy

Almost Classic Caesar Salad

Bolognese and a caesar salad? That’s amore. This is an all-occasion salad, but is particularly nice with a bowl of pasta. Bring a hunk of parmesan to grate at the table for true red sauce vibes.

Steak Like Tartare

This is my new favorite way to make steak at home, and it’s been on repeat all summer. Steak and a caesar? Sign me up.

Tomatoes Dressed in Toasted Fennel and Anchovy

The anchovy-fennel-chili-infused oil is good on quite literally anything, but is especially great drizzled over the sweetest little tomatoes you can find.

Anchovy-Butter Chicken with Chicken Fat Croutons

I’m going to be honest with you: this recipe is almost too much. The sticky juices from the roasted chicken, the caramelized bits from anchovy butter, and the croutons that cook in the skillet and crisp in the fat. For what other dish would you be tempted to lick a hot skillet?

Fennel Salad with Lemon and Anchovy

A salad that is definitely slaw in spirit, this can be further salad-ified by adding in some arugula or serving the whole thing over a bed of torn romaine, iceberg, or escarole.

Steamed Artichokes with Anchovy Butter

Gorgeous steamed artichokes with salty anchovy butter should be your go-to side dish for just about any meal this month.

Tomato Salad with Anchovies and Onion

When the tomatoes are as good as they are right now, simple is the only way, and this way’s a great one. I’d eat them on the side of quite literally anything.

Pantry Pasta

Would strongly recommend anyone follow this recipe, but equally recommended you going rogue and adding your own pantry flair.

Low and Slow Rib Roast with Anchovy and Rosemary

When it comes to cooking for special occasions or large groups of people, I am a huge fan of focusing all your emotional and financial efforts on one, glorious, foolproof thing. Say, a very large piece of more expensive than usual red meat.

A Very Good Lasagna

A recipe for a Very Good Lasagna. Nothing insane, no sneaky anchovies (just kidding—there are anchovies if you want) or expensive, hard-to-find cheeses. Just some good ol’ basic stuff layered in a baking dish and baked until melty, bubbly, and satisfying as well.

Green Beans and Greens With Fried Shallots

This is a description.

Beans with Beans

Eat with a very good piece of oil poached tuna with aioli to match, grilled meats (especially lamb), fresh sliced and salted tomatoes, some very cold, orange-y wine.
