Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 (3 ounce) can anchovies, rough chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons capers, rough chopped (more or less to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 thick lemon slice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, fine minced
  • Pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Anchovies ... In a small saute pan, add 1 teaspoon of the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the anchovies and mash with a fork as they cook. They only need to cook a few minutes and will begin to fall apart and get nutty golden brown. Don't let the heat get too high, you don't want the anchovies or butter to burn.

  • Step 2: Add the remaining butter, garlic, capers, wine, and the lemon slice (squeeze the lemon slice into the sauce and then put the whole slice in). Let it cook on low heat for about 5-8 minutes. Right before serving add the parsley and season with a pinch of pepper.

  • Step 3: Serve ... As I said, serve over baked or grilled fish, scallops, chicken, pork, vegetables; and, it makes a fantastic sauce for pasta. ENJOY!
