Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, chives, oregano, etc.)
- Drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
Whipped Compound Butter
- Place parsley and herbs into a food processor and drizzle with olive oil. Process until the herbs infuse the oil and become like a paste. Or, finely mince the herbs by hand and in a small bowl, drizzle olive oil and mix thoroughly. Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, whip the butter until it becomes soft and light, about 5 minutes. Add the herbs and beat for another 2 minutes or until it is fully incorporated.
- Spoon the butter onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a tight log and chill for 2 hours before serving.
Fork Method
- Place softened butter into a bowl, and with a fork, break it up. Then add the salt, and fresh herbs, and blend well.
- Transfer the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, and form into a tight log. Chill for 2 hours before slicing and serving.
