Blue Cheese and Chive Butter
Compound butter can add a decadent finish to a sauce, or as an amazing melting topper on a serving of meat or fish in place of a sauce. Also great to flavour pasta, rice or vegetables. You can experiment with both savoury and sweet options. Best to make at least a day ahead of time to allow time for the flavours to marry. Compound butters can be made from a host of delicious ingredients, let your imagination run wild!
