Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or Anytime) Herb Butter
I found this online and made it for my turkey. BEST DECISION EVER
This would also be fantastic on a steak after grilling or to rub and baste on a chicken breast while grilling (but be careful with the butter dripping and flames on the grill).
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 2 sprigs fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped (or 2.5 tsp dried)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 sticks butter (one stick softened to room temperature)
Instructions
- Melt one stick butter and stir in garlic, herbs, and kosher salt
- Mix the melted herb butter with the softened, room temperature stick of butter
- Pour into butter mold and refrigerate until firm (I found mine on Amazon. It’s silicone and comes with a lid)
- If you don’t have a butter mold, let the mixture firm up a little until you can shape into two rolls. Spoon the compound butter lengthwise onto a sheet of plastic wrap about the length of a stick of butter (you will have two sticks).
- Twist the plastic wrap at each end (like a Tootsie roll is wrapped). Shape into roll or square (like a stick of butter).
- Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. (Thaw overnight if frozen before using).
- To use, unwrap and use like you would a butter stick
