This creamy sailor’s butter is delicious on sourdough toast, on a baguette with some soup, or mixed in with some mashed potatoes and vegetables.
Ingredients
1 cup + 1 tablespoon (250 g) vegetable-based margarine, such as Earth Balance Buttery Spread, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (10 g) persil de la mer or dried sea lettuce flakes
Zest from ½small lemon
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Combine the margarine, persil de la mer, lemon zest, shallot, and garlic in a blender and puree until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper—taste carefully; this recipe is naturally very salty!
Place the butter in a closed container in the fridge for at least one hour to set. Remove from the fridge 10 minutes before serving. The butter will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge, or 2 months in the freezer.
