About 1 cup, or enough sauce for 4 servings

Preparation

  1. Put 1 tablespoon vinegar into a deep bowl, add salt, sugar, anchovy paste, mustard, garlic, egg yolk and pepper. Beat vigorously with a whisk.
  2. Pour the oil into the mixture very gradually in a thin stream, beating vigorously and constantly with a whisk. When all the oil has been incorporated, the mixture should have the consistency of a thick mayonnaise. Beat in the remaining vinegar until the sauce is fairly runny but still thickened. If further thinning is desired, beat in more vinegar, or plain water, checking the seasoning for salt at the end.
