This butter is delicious on a piece of toasted bread, but would go wonderfully with pasta, fish or grilled veggies.
After making sweet potato tarte amandine and purple potato lavender white chocolate torte for my first cooking demonstration in front of a live audience recently, I had a lot of leftover high quality butter, so I decided to make a batch.
I prepared the flavored butter with artichoke hearts, a bit of sea salt, fresh basil leaves and lemon. It has a brightness to it that works well in almost any savory application. I’m planning on using the butter with a simple salt and pepper crusted steak.
