An intensely salty, umami-rich paste, Gentleman's Relish is a sort of anchovy and garlic butter that's more versatile than you might think. It's arguably at its best when simply spread on good bread, however, and here Charlie serves it alongside rich, creamy burrata.
Charlie says: ‘Gentleman’s Relish is a mighty thing to have in your fridge. My mother, Caryn uses it to great effect on a regular basis, stirred into sauces and resting juices or spread on toasts. More often made with butter, my mother occasionally repurposes beef dripping to make a very rich relish. For the dripping version, collect the renderings off a sirloin or ask your butcher who should have it readily available.’
