Herb butter

An easy way to add flavour to any meal. - by Better Homes and Gardens

Make your own by mixing your fave herbs with butter – almost any culinary herb will make a delicious butter. Toss it through steamed vegetables or freshly cooked pasta, or serve on top of toast, grilled chicken, steak or salmon fillets.

Here's how

  1. Put 250g softened salted butter in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  2. Stir in 1⁄3 cup finely chopped herbs (we used parsley, basil and oregano), 1⁄2 clove finely grated garlic and 1 tsp sweet paprika.
  3. Season well with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea-salt flakes.
  4. Spoon mixture onto a 25cm-long sheet of baking paper to form a log shape.
  5. Roll up paper tightly from 1 long side to enclose filling and twist ends to secure.
  6. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour, or until firm. Slice into rounds to serve.
