butter

Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 80% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as an ingredient in baking, sauce making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks.

    Recipe Butter Lime Tilapia

    Fish and capers are such a cliche. There’s a reason for that: it’s because they taste amazing together. Maybe the fish can't see so well, and they think the capers are fish eggs?

    Buttered Steamed Rice

    I normally add a little butter (or Meadowlea) to steamed Jasmine rice once it's cooked in the rice cooker but before the 15 minute standing/keep warm time.

    Recipe Mussels in garlic butter sauce with prosciutto and piquillo peppers

    Piquillo peppers* are a vibrant red and have a mild fruity taste which is a lovely combination with the slightly salty prosciutto and sweet mussels. The tarragon adds an aniseed flavour to this dish, but you could use basil instead if you prefer. I used prosciutto cotto but crudo would be fine...
