Tahini butter is one of my more indulgent recent experiments. New potatoes are firm and delicious, and the ideal vehicle to carry the nutty flavour of the tahini butter. The perfect accompaniment to many a dish, a little goes a long way with these beauties, but they are ever so satisfying and the pepper provides a lovely kick to the overall flavour of the butter.

2. | Drain the potatoes and return to the pan, then add the butter, tahini and a generous amount of salt and pepper. |
3. | Using a masher, lightly crush the potatoes, then switch to a wooden spoon and mix to ensure the butter and tahini are evenly combined. |
