Bagna Cauda Butter
- 14 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 14 cup chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons very finely minced anchovies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- sea salt, preferably gray salt
- 1 tablespoon very finely minced fresh Italian parsley (flat-leaf)
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
- When the oil just begins to warm, add the garlic and anchovies and cook slowly, stirring, until the garlic becomes toasty brown and the anchovies dissolve, about 10 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
- Process the butter in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled garlic-anchovy mixture and a pinch of salt.
- Process until well blended.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the parsley.
- Refrigerate until firm enough to shape into a log.
- Put an 18-inch sheet of aluminum foil on your work surface.
- Spoon the butter down the center of the foil into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Enclose in foil and twist the ends to make a sealed log, like a Tootsie Roll.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 6 months.
