Christmas Butter
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. The very next day, you gave me a fat tube of Christmas butter.
30 minutes cook
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
- 4chicken thighs, skin only (save rest for another recipe)
- 200gbacon lardons
- 250gbutter, softened
- 1 sprigrosemary
- a handfuldried cranberries
And the rest is history. Christmas butter is a pretty open concept that can include whatever you want it to. Our recipe calls for crispy chicken skin, cranberries and other festive bits, but go wild when you make yours!
Method
Place the chicken skin on a lined baking sheet and season with salt. Place another piece of baking paper on top and another baking sheet to squash the thighs, then bake for around 30 minutes until the fat has rendered and the skin is a golden brown and crisp.
Fry the bacon pieces until crisp and set aside - keep the fat for another use. Potatoes maybe. Yum.
In a blender, blitz all the ingredients together. At this point you could add anything, from chestnuts to spices to make your butter your own.
