• Place the anchovies in a food processor with the oil, garlic, thyme and vinegar and process to smooth puree, adding pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• To serve in the traditional way, toast the bread on one side under a hot grill, spread the untoasted side with anchoiade and return to the grill until the anchovy paste is bubbling.
