Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter organic, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small lemon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using the back of a wooden spoon, smear the butter in a half-moon on a wooden cutting board, marble cheese board or platter. Really, anything works for presentation.
  2. Season the butter generously with the flaky salt and the fresh cracked pepper. Zest the lemon overtop the butter.
  3. Sprinkle on the flower petals and the fresh herb leaves, using as many or few as you like.
  4. Serve the butter with a sourdough baguette sliced or torn, or a rustic country loaf.

Notes

  • Six Seasons author Joshua McFadden suggests also adding capers, chopped pickles, microgreens and/or chili flakes. Basically, have fun with the dish!
