Gentleman’s Relish

 

200 g anchovies, drained & coarsely chopped

2 T. fresh white breadcrumbs

150 g butter

1⁄4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 pinch ground cinnamon

1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg

1 pinch ground mace

1 pinch ground ginger

1 dash fresh ground black pepper (good twist)

 

Using a mortar and pestle, pound the anchovies and butter until they resemble a smooth paste. You could also use a food processor. Stir in the breadcrumbs, spices and pepper and spoon the paste into a large ramekin. Cover and chill before serving. Serve with scrambled eggs, toast, sandwiches and as a “kick” to savory sauces!
