Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100g butter
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 crushed garlic clove
100g butter
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
8-10 shredded basil leaves
1 tbsp finely chopped sundried tomato
zest 1 lime
½ a 400g can red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped coriander
2 tbsp horseradish cream
6 coarsely crushed peppercorns

Steps:

Take 100g of butter out of the fridge for an hour to soften. Flavour 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 flavourings you fancy. See each below.
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.
