Directions
- Finely chop the garlic (or grate using a microplane) and the anchovies and place in a bowl. Add in the egg yolk, dijon, red wine vin, lemon juice, salt, pepper and give it a good whisk. Drizzle in the evoo while whisking and when everything is combined check for seasoning, grate in 1/4 cup of parm, mix and keep to the side.
