I love this, but then again I love anchovies. Great with before dinner drinks along with some olives, nuts, etc. Cook time is chill time. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons sweet butter |
16 anchovies packed in oil, drained |
14 slices tuscan bread, thin slices, toasted if desired |
capers (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place the butter in a bowl and mash it gently with a wood spoon for 15 minutes until it is soft and creamy. 2. Place the anchovies in a second bowl and mash them into a paste. 3. Incorporate the mashed anchovies into the butter, mix well until completely combined. There shouldn't be any anchovy chunks in the butter. 4. Cover the bowl with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour. 5. Spread the butter on the crostini and place on a serving dish. 6. Garnish with two capers in the center of each crostini if desired. |
