Vegan herb butter and tomato butter

There are things we love to debate – for example, whether cilantro tastes like soap or is simply delicious. And then there are questions that aren’t up for debate. Butter under chocolate spread? Yes, of course! Should I stir even more butter into the mashed potatoes? Absolutely! No herb butter at the barbecue? Uh, sorry, I have to run out real quick and grab the most important thing. What works without herb butter? Right, actually nothing at all. Fresh baguette without herb butter? Vegan steaks without herb butter? We won’t let it come to that!

To make sure you never end up arriving at a party without herb butter, we’re handing you our herb butter recipe. Our tip: bring a portion everywhere, just in case – you never know. For the adventurous, we’ve also created a little tomato butter that’s every bit as good as the classic herb butter.

What Do You Recommend as a Butter Alternative?
Vegan butter is everywhere these days, like sand on the beach. Whatever you like is perfect, and our recipe is so easy that it should work with any brand out there. Simply swap the regular butter for your vegan favorite, et voilà! Even plant-based margarine shouldn’t be a problem, though it won’t firm up as much in the fridge, of course.

What Else Goes with Herb Butter?
Would you rather light a cozy campfire than fire up the grill? Perfect – the butter tastes twice as good on fresh, warm stick bread! Do you like things cozy and slow? Then spread the tomato butter on a freshly baked sourdough roll. Got leftover potatoes or pasta from the day before? Instead of oil, you can use the herb butter for pan-frying. That brings twice the flavor! Or swap the garlic butter in our garlic twist bread for the tomato butter – for even more Mediterranean flair.

What Else Can I Mix into My Butter?
Carrot butter or maybe curry-date butter? One thing’s for sure: (almost) anything goes with butter. Take a look here for a few more of our absolute favorite butters. Experiment and have fun – your imagination knows no limits. So grab a bowl, it’s butter time!
