Dips & Condiments

What happens when my hands are holding so many bunches of fresh sage? Compound butter! This is a fancy word for flavoured butter for us, but really doesn’t compound butter sounds so good?

What I do for this is roast a whole head of garlic with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, then squeeze out the gorgeous bulbs into cold butter, with finely chopped sage and voila – my fancy compound  butter is ready!

Pairs well with:

plain crackers, sandwiches, grills, roasted veggies, garlic bread, boiled pasta or noodle or rice, eggs, cook veggies in this butter, top hot toast… really, and endless game!

Spicy Tomato Dipping Sauce

There is something so comforting in the idea of a hot grilled cheese sandwich which has all the right fixings. And then when you add a perfect dipping sauce - its a double whammy. This dip is inspired from Pan con Tamate - a Spanish tomato bread - originating from the Catalan region. To the recipe of raw tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and salt, i add lot's of dried red chilies - i had some sourced from south india - the tiny powerful ones for the oomph. I also grate in half an onion, because the Indian in me needs a lot of aromatics! This dip gets stronger in flavour as it rests and over time - so judge the garlic and chili amount accordingly.
