Green-Butter Sandwiches
A flavorful sandwich filling made with spinach, anchovies, and capers.
Ingredients
- 1/4 pound Butter
- 1/8 peck Spinach
- 2 tablespoonfuls Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
- 6 Anchovies
- 2 teaspoonfuls Capers, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1Boil the spinach until tender. Drain thoroughly and press through a piece of muslin to remove excess water.
- 2Beat the butter to a cream with a wooden spoon. Add enough of the spinach pulp to the butter to give it the desired green color. Wipe the oil from the anchovies, remove the backbone, and pass them through a hair sieve. Add the anchovies to the colored butter, a little at a time. Add the parsley and capers. Chill slightly and use as a filling for sandwiches.
