Anchovy oil

30 minutes

Anchovy butter is a savory snack rooted in Russian cuisine. The thick and rich paste made from herring minced and mixed with butter has a bright salty taste with a delicate oily texture. Its preparation requires patience: the herring flesh is soaked in cold water to soften its flavor, then finely chopped and mixed with butter. This snack is perfect for serving on slices of rye bread or as an accompaniment to potato dishes. Garnished with softened butter, anchovy butter becomes not only tasty but also an aesthetic element of the festive table.
