Anchovy Paste

Ingredients

• •2 oz anchovy fillets in oil
• •4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• •1 tablespoon lemon juice
• •1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• •1 clove garlic, minced
• •1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
• •1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• •1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. 1Drain the anchovy fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
2. 2Mince the anchovies into very small pieces.
3. 3Combine softened butter, minced anchovies, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.
4. 4Mix until well combined and smooth, mashing with a fork until a paste forms.
5. 5Fold in fresh parsley.
6. 6Transfer to a small serving dish and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
7. 7Serve with crackers, bread, or crudités.

💡 Anchovy paste becomes smoother if the softened butter is worked in gradually. Taste before adding salt—the anchovies and Dijon already contribute plenty.
