Anchovy Toast

Madeline Campbell

Ingredients:

  • Good quality white anchovies
  • Good quality sourdough cut into thick slices

Cashew Cream:

  • 2 cups of raw natural cashews
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Large pinch of salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon juice

Green Sauce:

  • Half a bunch of parsley
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Juice and rind of 1 lemon
  • Large pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup EVOO

Method:

  1. Add the cashews, water, garlic, salt and lemon in a blender and blitz till smooth. Slowly add small amounts of water until you achieve desired consistency. You want this to be creamy but not runny. Once smooth, move to a container and refrigerate.
  2. To make the green sauce, add all the ingredients to the blender and blitz. This sauce should have a nice zingy freshness to it.
  3. Slice your bread and toast on a pan or in a sandwich press with a generous amount of oil until golden and crispy. Once your toast is cooked, spread approximately a tablespoon of cashew cream on the toast, 1 – 2 white anchovies and 3 dollops of green sauce and voilà, Theo’s anchovy toast!
  4. For a vegan versions: Use assorted pitted olives instead of anchovies
  5. Extra cashew cream and green sauce can be used in many other dishes eg. dips, snack, wraps
