  • Cowboy Herb Butter Spread

    Cowboy Herb Butter Spread

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    200 g unsalted butter, cubed and slightly softened

    ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

    1 tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced

    1 tbsp Dijon mustard

    2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

    2 tsp prepared horseradish

    2 garlic cloves, cores removed and crushed

    1 tsp fresh lemon juice

    ½ tsp paprika

    ½ tsp fine cooking salt

    Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Parchment Paper

    Cut a 30cm square piece of baking or parchment paper and set it aside. This will help you shape and store the butter later.

    Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine all the ingredients: butter, parsley, chives, Dijon mustard, thyme, horseradish, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and salt.

    Start by using a potato masher to blend the butter and ingredients together, then switch to a fork to get a smoother consistency.

    Step 3: Shape the Butter

    Once everything is mixed, roughly shape the butter mixture into a log while still in the bowl. The texture should remain somewhat chunky, allowing the herbs and spices to be evenly distributed.

    Step 4: Roll It Up

    Place the butter log lengthwise toward the bottom of the prepared parchment paper.

    Roll the paper up from the bottom to enclose the butter, keeping it messy at first. Once you’ve got it started, grab both ends of the paper and twist in opposite directions to tighten and smooth it out.

    Step 5: Chill the Butter

    Refrigerate the butter roll until you’re ready to use it. The chill time will help it set up nicely, making it easier to slice and spread.

    How to Use Cowboy Butter

    This flavorful spread is perfect for a variety of dishes:

    On Steak – Melt it over a hot steak for a burst of flavor.

    With Seafood – It pairs wonderfully with grilled shrimp, lobster, or fish.

    On Vegetables – Try it on roasted or grilled veggies like asparagus or corn on the cob for an extra kick.

    As a Dip – Serve it as a dip for bread or crackers for a party appetizer.

    On Baked Potatoes – Top your baked potatoes with a dollop of Cowboy Butter for an upgraded twist.

  • Golden Quinoa Cake with Avocado Rose & Lemon-Tahini Cream

    Golden Quinoa Cake with Avocado Rose & Lemon-Tahini Cream

    Ingredients:
    1 cup cooked quinoa, chilled
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
    For the Lemon-Tahini Cream:
    ⅓ cup tahini (sesame paste)
    Juice of 1 lemon
    3-4 tablespoons cold water
    1 clove garlic, minced
    For the Topping & Garnish:
    1 ripe avocado
    Sriracha or a beet reduction for red dots
    Fresh rosemary or microgreens for garnish
    Preparation:
    1️⃣ Form the Quinoa Cake: In a bowl, mix the chilled cooked quinoa, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into a tight, round patty using a ring mold for a perfect shape.

    1. Pan-Sear the Cake: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully cook the quinoa cake for 4-5 minutes per side, until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
      3️⃣ Whip the Cream Sauce: While the cake cooks, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Slowly drizzle in the cold water while whisking until you reach a smooth, creamy, sauce-like consistency. Season with salt.
      4️⃣ Create the Avocado Rose: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Place it cut-side down and slice it very thinly. Fan the slices out into a long line, with each slice overlapping the last. Carefully roll the line of avocado up from one end to form a rose.
      5️⃣ Plate with Elegance: Pour a generous pool of the lemon-tahini cream onto a dark plate. Place the golden quinoa cake in the center. Carefully lift the avocado rose and place it on top of the cake. Use a squeeze bottle to make a semi-circle of sriracha dots around the sauce. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
