Flavoured butters are a simply way of adding flavour and punch to meat, easy to make and can be kept in your freezer for when you need it! The Olive Butter is particularly good with chicken, fish and roast vegetables! The method for the three flavoured butters are the same.
Café de Paris Butter:
125g butter
30ml chives, finely chopped
15ml parsley, finely chopped
5ml Dijon Mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
5ml capers
1 anchovy fillet
the zest of half a lemon, finely grated
Method:
Allow the butter to come to room temperature and soften.
Mix all the ingredients together.
Spread a piece of plastic wrap on a kitchen surface, spoon the mixture on top and roughly shape it into a log shape.
Fold the edge of the plastic wrap closest to you over the log shape and proceed to roll the butter in the plastic so that you have a plastic sausage.
Now take hold of the two ends (the overhanging/extra plastic wrap) and roll the butter away from you on the surface.
Tie the plastic ends and freeze until required.

190ml olives, chopped
15ml rosemary, chopped
