These salty little fish impart a unique flavor to an otherwise simple butter.

4 tbsp. softened butter
6 anchovies, finely minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Place butter in a medium bowl. Cream with a fork and add anchovies. Mix thoroughly and season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Mound butter on a piece of plastic wrap, roll to form a cylinder, twist ends of wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Slice in rounds to serve.
