Uova con l'aglio

(Eggs in Garlic Sauce)

Uova con l'aglio is a traditional Tuscan dish that's typical of Cecina. It consists of eggs in garlic sauce. The sauce is made with anchovies, capers, and boiled garlic cloves. The combination is ground in a mortar, and it's then mixed with vinegar, olive oil, and seasonings to create a sauce.


Half of the sauce is typically served at the table, while the other half is spread over hard-boiled eggs that have been cut in half lengthwise. On the side, the dish is traditionally accompanied by bread that has been fried in butter.
