Description
A salty, spicy and charred spring onion butter… don’t wait, just make it! All you need is spring onions, chilli flakes and butter.
Ingredients
Units
- 200g soft salted butter
- half a lemon or lime
- 5 spring onions
- 1 Tbsp Chili Flakes
Instructions
- Heat a cast-iron or grill pan over high heat. Add the spring onions and cook until nicely charred on all sides. Alternatively, you can grill the spring onions on a BBQ.
- Trim the root end off your spring onion and discard it. Roughly chop the spring onion and add it to a small food processor or blender, along with the soft butter, and chilli flakes. Blend until fine.
If you do not have a blender or food processor, chop the spring onions very finely with the chilli flakes, and stir them into the butter. - To the butter mixture add a little lemon or lime to taste (about 1/4-1/2 tsp) and blend again. Season the butter with a little more salt and pepper if needed
- The butter is now ready to use. It can be refrigerated for a week, or frozen in small portions for us to three months.

Notes
- I like to pop my butter into cling wrap and roll it into a sausage. I pop this into the fridge to firm up. Once firm I slice the sausage into manageable pieces, roll it back up in the cling film and freeze. This way I can easily take out a medallion of butter when I need one, without hacking at a mass of frozen butter.
