Preparation: 15 Mins   Cooking: 

Ingredients

  • 250g butter
  • 1½ tbsp red miso paste
  • 1½ tbsp sesame seeds

Method

  1. Cut the butter into small pieces, place in a large bowl, and allow to soften at room temperature.
  2. Gently toast the sesame seeds, either in a fry pan on the stovetop or in the oven at 160°C until golden brown, taking care not to burn. Allow to cool.
  3. Add the miso paste and toasted sesame seeds to the butter and mix well. Whisk until the butter is light and fluffy.
  4. On a sheet of baking paper, shape the butter into a log, roll up the paper, and twist the ends to secure. Refrigerate until the butter is firm, then slice and serve.

COOK'S TIP

  1. Miso paste is available at Asian grocers and selected quality supermarkets. This butter is also delicious served with grilled salmon or chicken.
