We do not deserve butter boards 🧈 This is my take on the trend and wow. Would 100% recommend for your next night entertaining.
Butter Board
Ingredients
- 150g salted butter, at room temperature
- 50g extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 1 lemon
- Salt flakes
- 50g jamon or prosciutto
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- Fresh bread, to serve
Method
- In olive oil, slowly cook chilli flakes and shallots with a big pinch of salt, until they go caramelised and jammy.
- Fry or roast your cured meat, allow to cool and then crush into small pieces.
- Spread butter on a board or plate of your choice.
- Spoon over caramelised shallot mix.
- Zest a lemon over the top.
- Sprinkle over salt flakes.
- Top with crushed prosciutto and parsley.
Hot tip: leftovers make a mean compound butter if you have a food processor on hand. Delicious on toast, with fresh bread or tossed through pasta.
