Ingredients:
100 grams unsalted butter, softened (XL. fat, S. sweet)
15 grams of fresh herbs finely chopped (Mixed sour, bitter and sharp) (rosemary, chives, and flat-leaf parsley)
2 cloves garlic, minced (XL. sharp)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (XL. sour)
A pinch of cayenne pepper (XL. sharp)
Salt and black pepper to taste (optional) (XL. salt, M. sharp)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Allow the butter to soften at room temperature. Finely chop the fresh herbs (We advise a mix of rosemary, chives, and parsley) and mince the garlic cloves.
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped herbs, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper.
Mix Thoroughly: Use a fork or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Make sure the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Add Lemon Juice: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
Seasoning: Taste the herb butter and add salt and black pepper if desired. Remember that if you're using salted butter, you may need less additional salt.
Shape and Chill: Place the herb butter mixture on a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or another desired shape.
Wrap and Refrigerate: Wrap the herb butter in parchment paper or plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal it. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavours to meld.
Serve: Once the herb butter is chilled and firm, slice it into rounds or use as desired. It can be served with bread, grilled meats, and vegetables, or use it in our recipe for flaky salmon with herbs.
