Sesame Butter

As soon as the sesame becomes fragrant and takes on a slight color, remove it from the pan immediately to prevent further roasting and bitterness.

The butter should really be at room temperature; then it will become creamy quickly and is easier to season.

Let the sesame cool briefly before mixing it in so the butter doesn't melt.

For a milder garlic note, remove the green shoot in the center of the clove.

Season in small amounts and taste in between, as salt can quickly amplify the flavors.

Shaped into a log in baking paper or cling film, it can be easily sliced later.
