Directions:
β’ Substitutions: If you cannot find whole anchovies, 1 teaspoon of anchovy paste can be used instead. For an extra herbal note, you can stir in a teaspoon of finely chopped fresh dill or chives along with the capers.
1. Cream: Mash 3 whole anchovy fillets, 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 4 teaspoons of drained and minced capers, 1 minced clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice together in a small mixing bowl using a sturdy spoon until a smooth, uniform paste forms.
2. Season: Add a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste, blending the spices thoroughly into the mixture.
3. Rest: Cover the bowl tightly and let the mixture stand undisturbed in a cool area of your kitchen for 1 hour to allow the briny, citrus flavors to develop and infuse fully.
4. Shelf Life: Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or roll the soft blend into a log using parchment paper and freeze for up to 3 months.
5. Try It: Slice a pat over roasted potatoes or fresh grilled corn for an amazing flavor.
