This is a decadently rich dish – the perfect match to any of our delicious French reds, particularly the bigger reds from the south. Their lovely dark, herbal characters match the garlic and rosemary in the wine brilliantly. Note: Don’t let the anchovies alarm you! They vanish amongst the garlic and herbs, leaving just a savoury, meaty, salty goodness. You can leave them out if you must – the garlic and rosemary still give a wonderful flavour – but it’s not nearly as glorious.
