Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Pitted green olives
- 50 grams Pitted black olives
- 1 unit Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the butter from the fridge and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Finely chop the green olives, black olives, garlic, and parsley, or use a food processor for a more consistent texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped olives, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together thoroughly using a spatula or a hand mixer, ensuring the olives and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more salt or black pepper.
Transfer the olive butter to a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends of the wrap to secure it.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes if you're in a hurry.
Once firm, the olive butter is ready to be sliced and served with bread, crackers, or your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
