(or Anchovy Paste) Pounded anchovies with hot spices and butter (Eaton 1822, etc). Image: http://www.the-saleroom.com Original Receipt in ‘The Cook and Housekeeper’s Dictionary‘ by Mary Eaton (Eaton 1822); ANCHOVY PASTE. Pound them in a mortar, rub the pulp through a fine sieve, pot it, cover it with clarified butter, and keep it in a cool place. The paste may also be made by rubbing the essence with as much flour as will make a paste; but this is only intended for immediate use, and will not keep. This is sometimes made stiffer and hotter, by the addition of a little flour of mustard, a pickled walnut, spice, or cayenne. See: Anchovy Butter Anchovy Powder Gentleman’s Relish |
