SERVES 8
All the flavours of the festive season in a deliciously scoopable side dish that pairs well with poultry, pork or meat roasts.
100g unsalted butter, chopped, plus 30g extra, chopped
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
½ small bunch celery, trimmed, thinly sliced
¼ cup each rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and sage leaves, chopped
