Take your bread game to the next level with this amazing flavoured butter. There’s more to those bright fresh flowers than just gorgeous
colours; some are just as good to eat as they are to look at.
Butter is a fabulous canvas for fresh flavours; don’t be afraid to try this with all kinds of edible flowers and herbs until you find your perfect combination.
Ingredients
- 250g room temperature unsalted butter
- Small or torn fresh herb leaves (thyme, dill, parsley, oregano and sage all work well)
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped – use as much of the green part as possible
- ½ cup edible flowers
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Bread or crackers and cheese, to serve
Method
Mix the room temperature butter in a small bowl until it’s loosened. Using a spatula, smear herb leaves, chopped spring onion and edible flowers through the butter. Season with salt and pepper and mix well with the spatula. Place butter in a small pottle and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with bread, crackers and cheese, and a lovely wine.
Top Tip
If you’re unsure if a plant is edible, check first before ingesting. Always wash flowers carefully in cool water before use.
