Ingredients

250 grams unsalted butter softened
100 ml olive oil to sauté garlic
4-6 cloves garlic, peeled sliced
8-10 salted pistachio kernels chopped
2-4 spring onions (optional)
4-6 sprigs of coriander use leaves only
10-12 sprigs of chives, finely chopped
1 pinch flaky sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper, preferably freshly grounded
½ lemon zested
bread, toast, or crackers of choice

Instructions

Prepare the garlic by heating the olive oil in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and add in the garlic once the oil is warm; ensure garlic is submerged. Gently cook on a low heat for approximately 10 minutes or until the garlic is softened. Sieve the garlic, set aside, and allow to cool. Store the flavoured oil use for dressings and drizzling.
Spread softened butter across a chopping board, scatter the confit garlic slices over the butter. Sprinkle the chopped nuts, fresh herbs, and spring onions.
Zest lemon over the butter, then a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly grounded black pepper.
Serve immediately with your choice, bread, toasts, or crackers and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is super quick and takes around 30 minutes to put together and is a great crowd pleaser.

It’s gluten-free, grain free and sugar free recipe. This butter is equally scrumptious to sauté poultry and seafoods or a mix with just cooked pasta or potatoes.
