Whether you like your butter plain or compound (with added flavor ingredients), here’s a fun idea from The Peached Tortilla in Austin, Texas.
This dish of citrus butter inspired us to create something similar, using a small, shallow dish (the bread plate that came with our fine china) and:
Covered half with great butter (our favorite is the cultured butter from Vermont Creamery . You can also use a straight stick or brick of butter.
Sprinkled with lemon zest.
Topped with microgreens.
A side of flaky (crunchy) sea salt.
Maldon sea salt .Pink Himalayan sea salt .Flavored salt (we used saffron-infused sea salt). Glossary .
You can decorate your butter as you wish, tailoring the garnishes to what you’re serving. Some ideas:
Butter topped with lemon zest and microgreens, with a side of coarse sea salt (photo courtesy The Peached Tortilla | Austin).
Chili flakes.
Fresh herbs: chives, cilantro, parsley, oregano, tarragon, thyme.
Greens: microgreens, fronds (dill, fennel).
Pepper: cracked pepper, green or pink peppercorns.
Seeds: aniseed, black sesame, caraway, celery seed, chia, dill seeds, fennel seeds, flax, mustard.
Spices: grated cinnamon or nutmeg, za’atar.
Others: capers, citrus zest, edible flowers, herb blossoms.
There’s enough choice so that you need never garnish butter the same way twice.
