Simple and insanely tasty, miso butter is a must-have staple in everybody’s freezer – whether you  subscribe to Banting or not. Quick to make, the miso butter ‘log’ can sit in your freezer almost indefinitely. Not that it will last that long as you will probably end up eating it with everything!

Great on steaks, vegetables, grilled chicken and burgers, miso butter will perk up virtually any meal.
