Chilli, lime and feta butter recipe

Print Recipe

Look no further than our chilli, lime and feta butter recipe if you’re looking for something to jazz up a humble slice of bread. It’s fresh and savoury with a lovely warmth coming from the chilli. 

It’s super easy to make this butter recipe too. You just need quality butter from grass-fed cows and a few ingredients to make a staple that’ll last in the fridge for a week. Grass-fed butter is a great source of vitamin A and healthy fats. Grass fed butter is also higher in Omega 3 fatty acids which are great for brain health.

Spread over sourdough bread for a delicious pop of flavour – it also goes brilliantly well with a few crackers. And that’s not all – we love to cook with this butter too. Add flavour to simple vegetable dishes for meals with a bit of a kick. If you omit the feta, you could even use it cook fish for a fresh and flavoursome weeknight supper.  

We’ve used one red chilli here for flavour, but use as much or as little as you like depending on how much heat you can handle.

Ingredients

  • 150g good-quality butter (salted)
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 limes, zest
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • Handful of parsley, finely chopped

Method

  1. Make sure your butter has been out of the fridge for around an hour and has started to soften. With a wooden spoon, beat the butter until it is soft, then add in the chilli, lime and feta.
  2. Scoop out the flavoured butter on to baking parchment. Either bunch the parchment tightly so the butter forms a tight ball, or roll the butter into a sausage shape in the paper, twisting the ends to seal.
  3. Seasoned fresh butter will keep for a week or more in the fridge, or a few months in the freezer.
