Flavoured butters make the most wonderful accompaniments are barbecues with grilled meats. Roll each into a log, freeze them and slice off a portion when you need a flavour boost.

Ingredients

125g softened butter

Anchovy and Caper Butter

20g each finely chopped anchovy fillets and capers
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill

Olive and Chilli Garlic Butter

40g pitted, finely chopped kalamata olives
2 crushed cloves garlic
1-2 finely chopped chillies

Thai Chilli Butter

4 chopped small red chillies
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh lemongrass.

Method

  1. Place softened butter in a bowl, and mix in your flavourings of choice. 
  2. Spoon flavoured butter onto a sheet of baking paper, roughly in the shape of a log. Fold the baking paper in half over the butter to enclose it.
  3. Place the edge of a ruler along edge of the butter log (on top of the baking paper).  Push the ruler away from you, towards the butter, creating some pressure on the baking paper, while you use the opposite hand to pull the bottom sheet of baking paper towards you. This will help you form the perfect log.  When you are satisfied with the log, tie off the ends like a bon bon and refrigerate or freeze until required.
