DIY Dip for Grilling: Delicious Tomato Butter

Grill dips based on butter are a delicious addition to grilled meat, vegetables, and other delicacies. The creamy consistency of the butter gives the dips a rich texture and an intense taste. Classics like herb butter with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives are always popular. A garlic butter provides spicy accents and gives the grilled food a special note. For a more exotic variant, you can experiment with citrus fruits like lime or orange. The combination of butter and hot spices like cayenne pepper or chili makes for a fiery dip that awakens taste buds.

RECIPES

Make your own herb butter – quick & tasty

A popular classic among barbecue dips is herb butter, which makes a good impression on the plate both as a spread and in melted form on meat, potatoes or vegetables. All you need for this is

1 piece fresh garlic,
125g soft butter,
1/4 frozen packet 8-herb mix or fresh herbs
as well as 1/2 tsp salt,
1 pinch of pepper,
1 pinch of sugar and
1 pinch of sweet paprika for seasoning.

For the homemade herb butter, first puree the garlic well. Then add the butter as well as the herbs and spices and mix everything thoroughly together.With the help of baking paper, the herb butter can be easily shaped into a roll and served in one piece in a ceramic butter dish.

Tip: In the frozen state, the homemade herb butter can last for several months.

In the Thermomix: Crush the garlic cloves for 5 seconds at level 5. Then add all other ingredients to the Thermomix and mix for 20 seconds at level 5 with the help of the spatula. Now roll the butter in baking paper as shown in the video and let it rest in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.Afterwards, you can store it in a ceramic butter dish (ceramic retains the cold from the refrigerator and is easy to clean in the dishwasher). Take it out of the refrigerator about half an hour before eating.

Make your own tomato butter easily

If you like a bit of Mediterranean flair on your plate, a spicy tomato butter is a good choice. It's also ideal for grilling or frying meat and is very easy and quick to make yourself.

For this, first

1 fresh garlic and
4 dried tomatoes marinated in oil are well pureed.Next, add
125g of soft butter,
40g of tomato paste as well as
salt and pepper for seasoning.

After everything has been thoroughly mixed together, the homemade tomato butter is already finished and ready to serve. It is particularly good in a butter dish and garnished with Mediterranean herbs (e.g. basil leaves). The spicy tomato butter is especially recommended for Mediterranean grilled vegetables, chicken, fresh ciabatta, and grilled cheese.

In the Thermomix: Peel the garlic and together with the dried tomatoes, chop in the Thermomix for 2 seconds at level 5. Push down with the spatula and chop again for 3 seconds at level 5. Push the garlic and tomatoes back down, add all ingredients and mix for 1 min at level 4. Fill the tomato butter into a butter bell and let it set in the refrigerator. The butter remains spreadable due to the water in the butter bell and is suitable for daily butter eaters, as the water needs to be changed daily. If you only take the butter out of the refrigerator every few days we recommend a ceramic butter dish.

What can you bring to a barbecue?

Homemade dips and sauces are always a good choice when it comes to what to bring as a guest to a barbecue. Both the herb butter and the tomato butter are quick and easy to make yourself and therefore a good gift for the next invitation to a barbecue evening with family or friends.Since the eye is known to eat as well, the presentation and serving form is not entirely unimportant.

Here you can let your creativity run wild and design butter flowers with a piping bag, for example.

Another tip: Instead of bringing the herb or tomato butter as a dip, you can already further process it. With the homemade herb butter, for example, corn cobs can be marinated in advance before they end up on the grill.
