French Bread With Chipotle Lime 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 BREAD WITH ZESTY LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat.
• Combine butter, chili lime seasoning and lime juice in a bowl and mix well to blend.
• Using a butter knife lightly coat both halves of bread with the lime butter. Place on grill and grill about 4 minutes.
• Slice and serve with chicken.

BUTTERY FRENCH BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the butter, celery seed and paprika; spread between bread slices and over top. Wrap bread tightly in foil. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Open foil; bake 5 minutes longer.

CHIPOTLE BUTTER

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.
• 5. For bread, leave softened for easier spreading. Makes 24 servings.
