Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, thyme leaves, and rosemary leaves. Ensure there are no large herb pieces for a smoother consistency.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Using a fork or a silicone spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly incorporated into the butter.
Place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface. Scoop the herb butter onto the center, and roll it into a log shape using the plastic wrap or parchment. Twist the ends tightly to seal.
Refrigerate the herb butter for at least 1 hour to firm it up, or place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes for quicker results.
Once firm, slice the herb butter into disc-shaped pats to use as desired. Store any remaining butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Use the herb butter to top seared steaks, pan-roasted chicken breasts, grilled pork chops, or steamed vegetables. Allow it to melt on the hot, cooked food for maximum flavor.
