For the Dipping Sauce:
4.
Drain the anchovies, rinse and pat dry. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a heavy saucepan or fondue dish, add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the anchovies and mash with a fork. Gradually add the olive oil, stirring constantly. Heat through for about five minutes, stirring frequently, until a creamy sauce forms. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
5.
At the table, keep the sauce warm in a fondue burner or on a plate warmer. Using fondue forks or your fingers, dip the plated vegetables in the sauce. Serve with fresh bread; if desired.
