Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Herb-Nori-Anchovy Butter

    In a medium bowl, let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened. This usually takes about 15-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    Finely chop the nori sheets and anchovy fillets. Mince the garlic. Add the chopped nori, anchovies, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper to the softened butter.

  3. 3

    Mix Well

    Using a fork or a spatula, mix all the ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  4. 4

    Chill the Butter

    Transfer the herb-nori-anchovy butter to a piece of parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape, twist the ends to seal, and refrigerate until firm, about 1-2 hours.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Ciabatta

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally.

  6. 6

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Spread a generous amount of the chilled herb-nori-anchovy butter on each half of the ciabatta. Place the halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
