Flavored butter in the colors of the flag of our beautiful UAE. Happy national day to a great Arab nation that is setting the standard for unity, inclusiveness and opportunity. We love the UAE, our home.
I made this compound butter last year as prt of a collaboration with @butterstories.me. French and European butter is always the best!
Ingredients
- 400 grs of good quality butter
- 2 tbsp ready made pesto sauce
- 2 tbsp ready made sun-dried tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Chili oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt
- 1 tsp activated charcoal powder
Method
- 1)
Divide the butter into 4 medium bowls.
- 2)
Let it soften and come to room temperature.
- 3)
Using a rubber spatula, mix the pesto into 1 bowl.
- 4)
Mix the tomato paste, paprika powder and a few drops of chili into the 2nd bowl.
- 5)
Mix the garlic powder and salt into the 3rd bowl.
- 6)
Finally, mix the charcoal powder into the last bowl. You might need to warm the butter a little bit for this layer as the charcoal emulsifies better in softer butter.
Notes
I used a square molds to shape the butters.
Freeze them for a couple of hours before assembling.
I used toothpicks to hold them in place.
You can serve them in small bowls individually but they taste heavenly used together.
Feel free to spread them over toasted bread, steamed veggies or as a simple way to enhance pasta dishes and steaks.
