Ingredients:
Garlic and parsley
- 100g butter
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1 crushed garlic clove
Basil, Parmesan & tomato
- 100g butter
- 4 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
- 8-10 shredded basil leaves
- 1 tbsp finely chopped sun-dried tomato
Chilli, coriander & lime
- zest of 1 lime
- ½ a red chilli (deseeded and finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander
- 100g butter
Horseradish & chive
- 2 tbsp horseradish cream
- 6 coarsely crushed peppercorns
- 100g butter
Method:
- Take 100g of butter out of the fridge for an hour to soften. Flavor is key, so use good-quality semi-salted or unsalted butter. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon until it is soft and creamy, then beat in any of the flavorings you fancy (see the above list for some delicious combinations).
- Tip the flavoured butter onto a square of baking parchment or cling film, roll it around the butter to form a sausage shape, then twist the ends to seal. The butter is now ready to be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to a month in the freezer.
