Jacques recipe actually includes a half a tin of anchovies and the oil from the can. First, drain oil from anchovy can. Mince half the anchovies with garlic... almost to a paste. Continue with recipe as written above. Young dandelion greens, harvested in March. Jacques stated that his father said dandelion greens 3 times a year to purify the blood.
