Heat the oil and butter together in an earthenware pot over hot water or in a double boiler. In another pan cook the garlic in a bit of the oil until it is soft. Add the anchovy fillets, and cook until the fish dissolves into a paste, about 5 minutes. Add all to the pan of hot oil and butter. The Bagna Cauda is kept hot in the middle of the table.
