what does smoked butter taste like

Like butter – but better! It’s rich, savoury and full of warmth – not only because it’s been smoked, but also because it’s been blended with punchy garlic and smoked paprika. 

tips, tricks & hacks

• Baste steaks with Smoked Butter, rosemary, thyme and garlic. 
• Mix into mashed potatoes.

• Brush over grilled prawns. 
• Use to pan-fry asparagus spears.

EASY meal IDEA

Butternut squash risotto

The flavour of Smoked Butter goes well with the sweetness of roasted squash, though it also works nicely with the earthiness of mushrooms or asparagus, either of which you could use instead.

1. Sweat chopped onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a little butter and oil until soft. Add risotto rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then tip in a glass of white wine and cook till the rice has absorbed the liquid. 
   
   
2. Add a few thyme sprigs and some chicken or veg stock, 1 ladleful at a time. Continue adding stock and stirring until the rice is cooked, though still retaining some bite (about 18 minutes). About 5 minutes before it’s done, add some roasted butternut squash (some in chunks, some mashed). 
   
   
3. Remove from the risotto from the heat. Add some parmesan cheese and a good knob of Smoked Butter. Beat these into the risotto with a wooden spoon for 1 minute. Stand for 3 minutes, then serve.
