The fourth compound butter, and the loudest of them. One technique, four jars. Voodoo Salt beaten through soft butter puts the paprika, the jalapeño heat and the garlic into a form you can slice cold and melt onto anything with a pulse. Point it at steak, corn, grilled fish, a split baked potato. It does not miss.
10 mins + chilling. Makes 1 log.
Ingredients
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 dessertspoons Plateit Voodoo Salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Method
- Beat the butter with electric beaters until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 mins.
- Fold in 2 dessertspoons of Plateit Voodoo Salt and the lemon juice until the butter is evenly rust-flecked.
- Spoon onto baking paper and roll into a tight log, ends twisted like a bonbon.
- Fridge 2 hours minimum, freezer for the long game.
- Slice coins straight from cold onto anything hot off the grill. Watch it slide.
Swap it: Melt a coin over charred corn cobs with a squeeze of lime and skip the main course entirely.
