Compound butter adds flavour to so many dishes, you can use it to top meat or fish, stir it through potatoes or vegetables, spread and toast it on bread - you will find many uses for this garlicky spread. But, our favourite way to use it is to simply stir it into warm flageolet beans for a quick side.

    For the compound butter

    Place the butter, chives, parsley, garlic, and salt into a bowl and mash with a fork or spoon until well combined. Drop onto plastic wrap and shape it roughly into a log. Roll up in the plastic wrap, twisting the edges to seal. Roll and shape the butter into a log about 4cm wide. Refrigerate for a few hours to meld the flavours. Once firm, you can slice and freeze for longer storag, and for quick use at a later date.
