How to Make Garlic Eggs From The Provene

  1. Peel 1 whole bulb of garlic.
  2. Blanch the garlic cloves in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Boil 6 large eggs for 9 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cool, peel and halve the eggs lengthwise.
  4. Finely mince 2 tablespoons of fresh tarragon.
  5. In a mortar and pestle, grind 1/4 cup blanched garlic cloves, 2 ounces oil-packed anchovy fillets (drained), and 1 tablespoon capers to a coarse paste. (Some small chunks are desired!)
  6. Gradually add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar while continuing to grind, until a thick paste forms.
  7. Pour the garlic paste into a glass bowl. Add the halved boiled eggs and minced tarragon. Gently toss to coat.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  9. Serve chilled atop toasted baguette slices.
