Garlic & Herb Compound Butter
Made with fresh chives, parsley, dill, garlic cloves, and creamy butter. These simple ingredients come together to create a spread that instantly elevates almost any dish.
Ingredients
- 1 stick quality salted butter such as Plugra or Kerrygold, softened
- 2-3 cloves garlic pressed or finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- Kosher salt to taste
- Fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Let the butter come to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Add softened butter to a bowl and use a spoon to cream/mash the butter until smooth.
- Fold in the garlic, parsley, chives, dill, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
- For immediate use, serve the butter softened.
- For chilled butter, place the mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, roll it into a log, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Slice into rounds when ready to serve.
Notes
- For easy mixing, soften butter before adding the other ingredients. Let butter sit out a bit at room temperature, or if you're short on time, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds (just don't let it melt!).
- Use fresh herbs for this recipe. While you can use dried, fresh herbs give the best aromatic quality and flavor. If you have to use dried herbs though, use only ⅓ of the amount listed.
