3.Spoon over or brush bread, mushrooms and tomatoes generously with the lemon, chilli and garlic butter.

This is a delicious combination – add as little or as much chilli as you like. When you have limes on hand, try the butter with lime, coriander and chilli, or if you have lemons, use rosemary and garlic. Flavoured butters are great spread on cheese scones. Lemon, chilli and garlic butter: • Wrap in cling film and shape into a log. Chill and slice for steak and barbecue meats. • Spread over fish fillets, then grill or bake. • Melt over fresh steamed corn or green vegetables. • Rub over a whole chicken and baste during cooking until golden.
