Calabrian Chile Butter

Calabrian Chile Butter

According to Bon Appetit, this “spicy, bright Calabrian chile butter is the greatest secret-weapon condiment that ever lived.” I don’t think they’re exaggerating by too much either. I’ve used it on toast with anchovies, roasted vegetables, and even grilled oysters.
