Worth The Spread

From mala butter to slow-cooked beef jam, freshly made artisanal flavoured butters and spreads have never tasted so good. Stock up on these gourmet indulgences for easy treats right out of your fridge.

MALA BUTTER

Containing the mildly numbing Sichuan peppercorn for an addictive spice kick, this spread is great as a pairing with deepfried lotus chips, flavouring for nuts, and glaze for roast beef.

RED WINE BUTTER

This fruity butter, infused with Merlot, Malbec or Shiraz, is a meat-lover’s favourite. Pan-sear it with steak, grill it with lamb, slather it on chicken wings, or smear it on cheese and crackers for easy finger food.

MENTAIKO BUTTER

This pollack fish roe-infused butter is a big hit, and some of the ideas for its use came directly from avid fans. Try basting it on salmon for baking, stir-frying with squid, and even tossing in hot cooked Japanese rice for a quick snack.

MATCHA BUTTER

The only sweet butter in Shaun’s line-up, the matcha butter is recommended for smearing on doughnuts, incorporating into cookie dough for baking cookies, or infusing into cream to make a sauce.

JAPANESE CURRY BUTTER

The unmistakable aroma of Japanese curry makes this a winner with breaded white fish and even white wine mussels – just use the beurre monte (whisk cold butter with the warm sauce when it’s off the heat) technique to achieve a satiny sheen and velvety texture.
