Christmas

Enjoy Christmas with Western Star

Traffic light vegetables

A great side dish for kids. Cut zucchini, carrot and red capsicum into thin sticks or rounds (snow peas are great too), then sauté in butter and garlic until tender and fragrant. 

Add extra flavour to filo

When brushing filo pastry sheets with butter for savoury applications, try melting the butter in the microwave with a bruised clove of garlic, for a little extra flavour! 

Best ever green beans!

Melt a knob of butter in a fry pan until foamy, toss in your steamed green beans and slivered almonds until almonds are just golden. Delicious! 

Runny white sauce?

If your white sauce isn’t thick enough, you can whisk in a little cornflour and water paste or begin again by making another roux and whisking in the runny white sauce in place of the milk. 

Should I grease my baking tins?

This helps stop food sticking. Brush the tin with melted butter or use some baking paper with a little butter on it to rub around the inside of the tin. 

Fussy Eaters?

Stir a squeeze of honey and dab of butter into steamed carrots, the kids are guaranteed to eat these veggies. 

Delicious crunch on toasties?

Use Western Star Spreadable on the outside of your bread for a golden delicious crunch!
