Chipotle Butter Recipes

CHIPOTLE-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix the butter, lime zest, mint, chile powder, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula until well blended. Serve at room temperature or transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap, wax paper or parchment and roll it up, twisting the ends to make a tight log. Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 2 months.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl whip the butter, with an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy.
• 2. Add the minced peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Whip until incorporated.
• 3. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill. (The longer it sits, the deeper the color and richer the flavor.)
• 4. Just before serving put a teaspoon of the cold butter on cooked steak or burgers and allow it to melt over the top.
