Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're mixing softened butter with wild garlic, fresh parsley, and a touch of Parmesan to create a flavor-packed spread that's ready after a quick overnight chill. This simple hands-on blend takes just 13 minutes, then it's waiting for you in the fridge to enjoy on fresh bread, over grilled steak, or melted into roasted chicken.

Herbs

Wild garlic pairs wonderfully with other herbs, so the flavour of your herb butter can vary each time. I used fresh flat-leaf parsley, but chives or thyme work great too.

Shaping the butter

Use stainless steel moulds lined with plastic wrap or semifreddo film, then press the herb butter into them. If you don't have moulds, simply roll the butter into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Chill

Now just let it chill in the fridge, ideally until the next day.

Serving

The next day, pop the butter out of the mould and peel off the film, or unwrap the log from the plastic wrap. Then it's ready to serve - perhaps simply on fresh baguette, or melted over a freshly grilled steak.
