Easy Herb Butter
20 minute prep
In the 20th century, compound butters became a key element in restaurant and home kitchens. Variations expanded to include ingredients like blue cheese, citrus zest, anchovies, and even truffles. Today, chefs continue to innovate, using compound butters in global cuisines, from spicy chili butter in Latin American dishes to miso-infused butter in Japanese-inspired cooking. This recipe is very simple and a great way to add extra flavor to a dish.
Directions
- Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a spatula until well combined.
- Use as is for drizzling or place it in the freezer to create a form.
- To store the butter in a ramekin, simply place it in the ramekin and store it in the freezer for about 10 minutes, until the butter sets.
- To roll and store the butter, place it on a 12 x 6-inch rectangle of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Gently fold over the short end to line up the corners. Pick up the plastic wrap holding the corners together and gently shake until the butter smoothes out in the center. Lay the plastic wrap back down on the surface and then roll it up to create a long tube. Twist the ends in opposite directions and place the butter in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
