If you are tired of serving the same old slab of butter at dinner, you can jazz up your meal by simply adding a few fresh ingredients. Here is a great recipe for garlic herb butter.
Instructions
1. Remove butter from fridge and allow it soften for about 15 minutes before mixing in other ingredients.
2. Mash garlic by first peeling two cloves, then placing the garlic in a garlic press and squeezing. Once the garlic has come out of the press, place in a bowl and continue mashing with fork until the consistency is soft.
3. Chop parsley and chives and add to bowl with garlic. You will not need a great deal of parsley or chives. About 1 tbsp. of each for this recipe. Be sure to chop these ingredients finely.
4. Include 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice into the bowl.
5. Throw in a hefty dash of pepper. If the butter is unsalted, also be sure to add 1/4 tsp. of salt into the bowl.
6. Combine the now softened butter into the ingredients into the bowl. Stir with a spatula until well mixed.
7. Place in an air tight container and store in the fridge. Your garlic herb butter should last about two months.
