Recipe: Gourmet Artichoke and Anchovy Toast

1 Cut your artichokes into small cubes.

2 In a saucepan pour 2 to 3 cl (1 fl oz) of olive oil, when it is hot pour your diced artichokes, salt and pepper, add 20cl (0.8 cup) of water (or broth) and the garlic clove then let them sweat covered gently for 15 minutes, there should be no liquid left, then remove them and drain them by pressing well.

3 Pour into a bowl and give a quick blitz with a mixer for 10 seconds and let cool.

4 Prepare your fava beans: with the tip of a knife make a small cross on each one then bring very salted water to a boil, plunge your beans in for 2 minutes then drain them, plunge them in ice water, drain them, then you will notice that they peel themselves, pour a drizzle of olive oil over them and set aside.

5 Your artichoke puree is now cold, add 2 egg yolks, stir well with a whisk, then with your remaining olive oil whisk together like mayonnaise.

6 Toast your country bread slices, then add your artichade on top, your anchovy fillets in diamond shapes filled with your fava beans, give a good grind of pepper and.......ENJOY.
*Artichade: I created this name because I didn't know what to call this preparation (smiles).
