Melt the butter in a small pan over a low/medium heat. Finely dice the shallot and crush the garlic. Add to the pan and cook gently for a few minutes until tender. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Roughly chop the capers and tear the anchovies. Add to the bowl along with the zest, cooled shallot mixture (including the butter from the pan) and the black pepper. Mash together with a fork to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
