Anchovy butter
December 29th, 2008 | Written by jfolkmann | Topic: IngredientsFlavoured butter is a great way to add a little something to a bland dish. This particular version tastes great added to braised winter greens with a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar (based on a Jaime Oliver recipe). You can use the same recipe to make just about any kind of flavoured butter, try rosemary or lemon.

- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

In a blender or food processor mix all of the ingredients together. Scrape the mixture on to parchment paper, and roll it into a log. If you’re going to use it in a few days keep it in the fridge, otherwise put it in the freezer.
