Ludwig loves, loves, his olives. Appetizer, salad, relish tray, entreé or with a cheese plate and Port for dessert, there seem to be few dinners without them. This is a classic hors d’oeuvres preparation for topping toasted baguette slices or whole wheat crackers. I won’t tell Maestro if you substitute a couple teaspoons of fish sauce for the anchovies; he’d be furious. Just reduce the olive oil a bit so it isn’t too runny.
