Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to mix but not melted.
While the butter is softening, finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, and minced garlic.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired, to enhance the flavor.
Using a spatula or spoon, mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
Transfer the flavored butter to a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log or desired form by rolling the wrap tightly around the butter.
Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the butter to firm up.
When ready to use, slice the butter or spread it directly on warm bread, meats, or vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
