CHILLI AND HONEY BUTTER RECIPE

Makes 1 cup

200g salted butter, room temperature

2 large red chillies, seeds removed

2 Tbsp runny honey

2 Tbsp chopped parsley
  1. Chop the chillies small and place them into a food processor with the butter and honey. Blitz for a few minutes until very well combined and the butter has a red tinge from the chillies.
  2. Add the parsley and combine. Chill in the fridge and bring to room temperature before using.
  3. Serve as your favourite spread or topping.
