🔥 Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter

In a small saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat.

2. Add Flavour Base

Whisk in the Dijon mustard, paprika, cayenne, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Let everything simmer gently for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.

3. Remove from Heat & Finish

Take the pan off the heat. Stir in the fresh chives, parsley, chilli flakes, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.

4. Serve Warm
