Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
1. Begin by ensuring your butter is at room temperature. This makes it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic using a fork or spoon.
3. Add the chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the bowl.
4. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
5. Taste your herbed garlic butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon zest to suit your preference.
6. Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and tightly wrap it, twisting the ends to seal.
7. Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or until ready to use.
8. Once firm, slice the herbed garlic butter into rounds or use as desired. Pair it with warm bread, steaks, seafood, or roasted vegetables for a burst of flavor.
