Mustard Butter Food

MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the butter, mustard, garlic, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until garlic and anchovy paste are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Serve immediately over warm food or cover and chill until needed.

MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir well with a wire whisk.
• 2. Shape butter mixture into a ball, and chill until firm.
• 3. Let butter soften slightly before serving. Serve as a spread for sandwiches.

MUSTARD BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, wine and chopped shallot in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until reduced to a syrup.
• Stir in the cream and cook until reduced a little more.
• Add in the diced butter, whisking until amalgamated. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper, mix in the mustard, pass through a fine sieve and serve at once.

GRILLED SEAFOOD PLATTER WITH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• For the mustard butter: With a rubber spatula, mix together the butter, both mustards, lemon zest and salt in a small bowl. Form into a 1-inch log on a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium high.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the salt and rub with the oil. Place on the hot grill, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the salmon and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove the salmon to a platter. Unwrap the mustard butter and slice thinly. Place a few slices on each fillet. Cover the fillets with foil to keep warm while preparing the lobster.
• For the lobster: Sprinkle the lobster tails with the salt and drizzle with the oil. Place on the grill, meat-side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the tails and top with a few slices of mustard butter. Finish cooking for an additional 4 minutes or until the meat is opaque and just cooked through. Add the lobster to the platter with the salmon and serve with additional mustard butter on the side.

BUTTERFLIED TEA- AND ORANGE-BRINED ROASTED TURKEY WITH HONEY-MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove the zest from the oranges in wide strips using a vegetable peeler, applying only gentle pressure so that most of the white pith is left behind. Reserve the zest, juice the oranges and strain the juice into a small saucepan. Add the zest, salt, bourbon, sugar, peppercorns, tea bags, cloves, bay leaves and 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. Pour the brine into a plastic container or pot large enough to hold the turkey, add 5 quarts (20 cups) ice water and stir to combine. Submerge the turkey, adding more ice water if needed. Weight it down with a plate to keep it submerged and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Drain, rinse and pat the turkey dry. Place on a large paper-towel-lined cutting board and let sit out at room temperature until it reaches room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Mix the butter, Dijon, spicy brown mustard and honey in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pat the turkey skin dry again and rub the honey-mustard butter evenly over the surface, also pushing some underneath the skin of the breasts. Lay the turkey in a large roasting pan as flat as possible. If the pan is a bit small, tuck the wings behind the back with the drumsticks resting on the ledge of the pan and place a large rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil at the bottom of the oven to catch drippings.
• Roast, basting the turkey with the pan drippings every 30 minutes or so, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 165 degrees F, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before serving.

MUSTARD BUTTER-BASTED ROAST TURKEY WITH BACON

Steps:

• Weigh your turkey and calculate the cooking time by allowing 40 mins per kg for the first 4kg, then 45 mins for every kg of turkey over that weight. As a guide, a turkey this size should take 3½-4 hrs plus 30-45 mins resting time.
• To make the mustard butter, beat the butter with the mustards, thyme and some ground black pepper until soft and well mixed.
• Gently push your fingers under the skin of the turkey, starting from the neck, until you can push your whole hand in down the length of the breast - take care not to tear the skin. Spread the butter under the skin so that it covers the breasts. Lay the streaky bacon on your work surface in 2 rectangles of 6 overlapping rashers (for extra flavour, you can brush the bacon with a little wholegrain or English mustard first), and carefully push each rectangle of bacon under the skin to cover and protect each breast. This can be done the night before, but take out of the fridge for 1 hr before roasting so that it comes back to room temperature.
• On the day, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lift the turkey into a roasting tin, massage the olive oil into the skin and season well with flaky salt and pepper. Put the onion, thyme and bay inside the cavity of the turkey, then pour in the wine. Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast for the calculated cooking time. For the final 30 mins, remove the foil and pour off all of the cooking juices (use for the gravy; recipe in 'goes well with'). Increase the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast for 30 mins more until the turkey is golden and the juices that run out of the thigh are clear, with no sign of pink, when pierced with a skewer. Leave to rest on a warm platter covered with foil and tea towels - it will keep like this for up to 45 mins.
• To serve, carve the turkey and arrange the meat on a hot platter with a little of the hot gravy poured over, or bring the whole turkey to the table garnished with herbs. To fill the platter, you could surround the turkey with potatoes, if you like. Any leftover meat can be frozen in the gravy.

MUSTARD LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• In a food processor or in a bowl with a whisk blend together the butter, the mustard, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the cayenne, and salt to taste until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the butter to a bowl and chill it, covered, for 8 hours to let the flavors develop. Serve the mustard lemon butter on grilled fish or chicken.

BROCCOLI WITH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix mustard and butter, set a side.
• Can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered.
• Bring to room temperature before proceeding.
• Steam broccoli until crisp tender and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add mustard butter and toss until melted and broccoli is well coated.
• Season with Salt and pepper.
• Serve.

ONION SODA BREAD WITH WHIPPED ENGLISH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the flours into a bowl with the bicarb, onion flakes, nigella seeds and 1½ tsp salt. Stir together and make a well in the middle. Tip in the butter and yogurt, and bring together into a soft, sticky dough using a spatula. If it seems dry, add a splash of milk.
• Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form into a round. Lift onto a lightly floured baking sheet, cut a deep cross in the top using a sharp knife and sprinkle over the oats. Bake for 1 hr, or until golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• While the bread cools, beat the butter, mustard and a pinch of sea salt together until light and airy. Spoon into a small pot. Slice the bread and serve with the mustard butter for spreading over.

MUSTARD BUTTER WITH BASIL AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Mince capers and garlic and mash with salt. In a bowl stir together garlic-caper paste with remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Chill mustard butter 10 minutes. Using wax paper as an aid, shape mustard butter into a 6-inch log and wrap. Chill butter until firm, at least 1 hour, and up to 3 days. Butter may be frozen, wrapped well in plastic wrap, 1 month.
• Slice mustard butter as needed.
