Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature so it becomes soft and spreadable.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and thyme leaves, then set them aside.
Mince the garlic cloves into very fine pieces or use a garlic press to create a smooth paste.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped herbs, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Using a spatula or a hand mixer, thoroughly blend all ingredients until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the compound butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, shaping it into a log. Roll tightly, twisting the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the rolled butter for at least 1 hour until firm, or place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes for quicker results.
Slice the Blarney Butter into rounds to serve, or leave it in the log to slice as needed. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
