Best Butter

If you told me the word “umami” was invented to describe Henrietta Red’s anchovy butter, I’d believe it. The deceptively simple spread is made with just six ingredients: butter, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, paprika and salt. It’s good slathered on anything: fresh pita, warm bread, baked oysters, or just straight on your face. And though the good people at Food & Wine got their hands on the recipe, I maintain it tastes better when someone else makes it for you — especially if that someone is this year’s Best Chef, Julia Sullivan.
