Ingredients:
3 tablespoons finely chopped mixed fresh herbs, including parsley, chives, basil, oregano, and/or tarragon leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
Directions:
Place the herbs, garlic, pepper, and butter in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Alternatively, you can do the beating in a mixer or food processor.
Lay a 12-inch square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center. Roll it up into a cylinder, twisting the ends to compact the butter. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer until firm. The butter will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer. To use, unwrap the roll and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. (Leftovers are great on steakadd a pat just before servingbread, eggs, or potatoes.) |
