Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by allowing the unsalted butter to come to room temperature until softened but not melted. This will make it easier to work with.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, prepared horseradish, finely chopped chives, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until evenly combined. Make sure the horseradish and chives are well distributed throughout the butter.
Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a clean surface. Transfer the butter mixture onto the center of the parchment or plastic wrap and shape it into a log for easier slicing later.
Roll the parchment or plastic wrap tightly around the butter log and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once firm, slice the Horseradish Chive Butter into rounds as needed and serve atop your favorite dishes like grilled steak, baked potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Store any unused butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage (up to 3 months).
