bagna cauda

/BAHN-yah ka-OO-dah/
[Italian]

"Hot bath" of oil, garlic and anchovies into which crunchy raw vegetables (peppers, cardoons, fennel, celery, etc) are dipped. This bubbles over a burner at the table and is rather similar to a fondue. It is often served as an antipasta in Piedmont and also found in southern France.
