Flavored Butter

I'm quite fond of making my own compound or Flavored Butter at home. It's a really versatile ingredient to have in your fridge. This butter works brilliantly with bread, chicken, seafood, or vegetables. You could also dot it over your steak, sweet corn, or grilled fish. Today, I am sharing two of my favorite Flavored Butter recipes with you. Over the next couple of days, I will share a few recipes which uses this butter.

Compound/Flavored Butter

Rosemary And Garlic
1 Small Whole Roasted Garlic
2 tsp Finely Chopped Fresh Rosemary
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Stick/1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature

Parsley, Chili, Garlic, And Lemon
4 Tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley
1 tsp Chili Flakes
4 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
Zest of 1 Lemon
1/2 tsp Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
1 Stick/1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened at room temperature

Method

Put the butter with all the ingredients in a bowl, and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined. Transfer the butter onto the center of saran wrap or parchment paper. Roll it up, shape into neat rolls that measure about 4 to 5 inches long and tie the ends with kitchen strings. The flavored butter can be kept in your fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
