🧅 1 green onion
🍃 2-3 sprigs fresh parsley

Instructions
1- Prepare the Anchovies:
- Remove the anchovies from their packaging. If they are packed in salt, rinse them to remove excess salt. If they are in olive oil, gently drip off the excess oil.
2- Chop the Vegetables:
- Loosely chop the green onion and garlic. This helps in even distribution during blending.
- Roughly chop the fresh parsley leaves.
3- Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovies, garlic, green onion, parsley, and a pinch of sugar.
- Blend until the mixture turns into a paste.
4- Incorporate Olive Oil:
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending to achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency.
- It's advisable to start with 8 tablespoons and adjust based on your preference.
5- Check the Consistency:
- If the paste is too thick for your liking, you can adjust by adding a bit more olive oil.
- Aim for a thin consistency that lightly coats your serving vegetables.
6- Serve:
- Arrange the raw vegetables on a platter and serve alongside the Anchoïade.
- Enjoy it as a dip or a light spread.
