  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 100g Butter (softened)

Cooking Method

  1. The Bloom Whisk garlic and spices with a tiny 5ml splash of lemon juice; the acid will release the allicin perfume.
  2. The Silk Merge Fold the spiced garlic paste and honey into the butter until it forms a uniform red silk.
  3. The Scorch Split the bread; spread heavily with the silk and grill for 2 minutes until blackened and charred.
  4. The Final Flourish Finish with a massive hit of raw fresh parsley and extra sea salt.
