Anchovy Butter
- Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream until creamy and fluffy. Transfer butter to a large piece of plastic wrap and shape butter into log form. Refrigerate until needed.
Salsa Verde
- Place herbs, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. While the food processor is running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. Transfer sauce to a glass jar and set aside until ready to use. Store remaining sauce in refrigerator.
