Garlic and Herb Butter

This Hax is an incredible way to add instant flavour to the pan.  The blend of crushed garlic, herbs and chilli (if you like) is the perfect enhancer to so many dishes. Make a jar once a fortnight, leave in the fridge to pick up when prepping. Use to pan fry fish, meat, start a curry or risotto. Fabulous when roasting meat, scrambling eggs, mashed spuds, stir-fried veges – the lot.

Also melt and drizzle over potatoes, kumara or swede for the perfect oven roasted, crispy chips.

See guide below for recipes and idea for what herbs are good with which protein.
