Dress up bland boiled or steamed veggies with a butter coin. Super easy and versatile, I use these lemon, garlic and parsley butter coins on everything from steamed broccoli or new potatoes to spread on toast under soft boiled eggs
Total time to make : 1 hour Time to prep : 5 minutes
Time to chill : 1 hour
Servings : 6 thick coins
Ingredients
100g unsalted butter, room temperature
large bunch handful of fresh parsley, leaves plucked and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
zest from 1 lemon
1 tsp good quality flaked sea salt
Method
In a small bowl, spread the room temperature butter around with a spoon
Add in the lemon zest, garlic, sea salt and parsley and fold through with the spoon until it's evenly mixed
Tip the butter mixture onto a rectangular piece of baking paper and move the butter to the outer edge so that you can pick up the edge and roll into a cracker (see video, below)
Secure the ends with clips and place in the fridge to firm up for about an hour
Once firm, use a sharp and dry knife to slice off coins as and when you need them, or slice them before hand and store in a lined airtight container, ready to go
