Christmas

Enjoy Christmas with Western Star

Cooking pasta?

Toss a knob of butter through pasta or couscous before serving for a glossy sheen and delicious buttery flavour! 

Reheating Hollandaise or Béarnaise sauce?

Never microwave! These are fragile emulsions and will split. Reheat by gently whisking over a double boiler on low heat. If the emulsion begins to split, try whisking in a spoonful of warm water, never add more butter. 

Which butter should I use to make sweet pastries?

We recommend Chef's Choice - it's higher fat content and creamier finish makes it ideal for sweet pastries. 

Delicious crunch on toasties?

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

Pine nut and herb crusted fish - in a hurry!

Combine melted Western Star Butter with a handful of breadcrumbs, raw pine nuts and fresh herbs of choice, press onto one side of a skinless white fish fillet. Bake at 200°C for 10-15 minutes or until golden. 

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! 

Making a sauce?

Enrich wine based sauces by whisking in a large knob of cold butter at the very end, it will give your sauce a richness, shine and round off any acidic flavours.
