Parsley Lemon Butter Recipes

LEMON, PARSLEY, GARLIC COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Allow butter to soften at room temperature.
• Mince garlic and then press into a paste. You can use a garlic press for this or use the back of your knife and carefully smash down garlic with a little salt.
• When soft add all ingredients to a bowl and mix (by hand or food processor) to incorporate.
• Lay out a piece of parchment paper and form a log. Tightly roll and twist to seal. There may be some excess lemon juice that won't incorporate. Don't worry about it, but put the butter log on a plate so it doesn't leak on your refrigerator.
• Refrigerate for ~ 2 hours or freeze for 20 minutes if slicing.
• Good for a couple weeks in the refrigerator or 4 months in the freezer. Happy buttery goodness! Beckie
