Gift Guide: Salt’s Cure

Anchovies are a staple in my house. I use them in place of salt in most of my vegetable dishes; when you worry them around in a pan of onions and olive oil, they vanish, leaving behind a whisper of umami flavor.  Your guests know the greens taste better, but they couldn’t tell you why.

My favorite pizza is topped with anchovies. I’ll take them out for a quick cocktail snack, setting them atop crackers or deviled eggs.

So anyone who showed up at my house with a jar of really excellent anchovies would be extremely welcome.

These anchovies from Heritage Foods aren’t cheap, but they’re superb. They make every savory thing taste better.
