Toasted Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan cook 4 large unpeeled
cloves of garlic over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until
skins begin to brown, turning occasionally. Remove from heat; cool.
When cloves are cool enough to handle, peel skin from cloves;
discard skins. Return garlic to saucepan; add 1/2 cup butter. Cook
over low heat until butter melts, mashing garlic with a fork. If
desired, stir in 1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce. Serve warm.
