How to use buttery seasonings
- Finish with it. Shake over steak, corn or chips as they come off the heat so the flavour blooms.
- Make compound butter. Stir a butter mix through softened butter, roll it in baking paper and chill. Slice onto hot steak.
- Rub before, dust after. On chicken, season before cooking, then add a light dust before serving.
- Toss wings. Buffalo-style sauces cling hardest to wings that are hot and crisp.
Do buttery seasonings contain dairy?
Some do. Boars Night Out White Lightning Double Garlic Butter is tagged as containing dairy, and Rum and Que's Umami Garlic Butter seasoning contains milk, gluten and soy. Others get their buttery taste from garlic, herbs and savoury spices. If you avoid dairy, read each label closely. Check the ingredient list on each product page; recipes can change.
Keep the savoury theme going with our garlic, umami and savoury ranges, or head to steak night and wings. Shop by maker: Heavenly Hell and Hardcore Carnivore.
