Christmas

Enjoy Christmas with Western Star

Cooking rice by absorption method?

Add a knob of butter to the water for a delicious buttery flavour and separated grains. Especially great served with curries? 

Fussy Eaters?

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

Cooking pasta?

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

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. 

Dry roast chicken?

Avoid a dry chicken by stuffing some flavoured butter under the skin before roasting. Simply ease your fingers under the skin of the chicken breast to create a pocket (without breaking through) and fill it with softened flavoured butter. The butter bastes and flavours the chicken as it cooks leaving you with a moist and tender roast! 

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 slow roasted tomoatoes

Simply slice roma tomatoes in half, lay cut side up on a lined baking tray, season with salt and pepper, and top each tomato with a slice of garlic and a knob of butter. Bake at 140°-150°C for 1-2 hours or until done to your liking. Use in salads, antipasto or simply enjoy on fresh bread!
