These butters are so versatile and so good


My flavoured butters are easy to put together and make a great standby. If you’ve got a dinner party coming up, simply make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge, where they’ll keep for 3 days. Alternatively, make a batch – my recipes for Parsley Butter and Shallot and Red Wine Butter each make 8 portions – wrap well and freeze for up to 1 month. If you’re even more organised, you can slice the butter into 8 portions, wrap each portion and freeze them, just pulling out slices as you need them. It’s as simple as that.
