Garlic Compound Butter Recipe
Servings: 1
INGREDIENTS
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 medium clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut butter into smaller pieces and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add garlic, fresh herbs, and salt, and beat with a mixer on low speed until combined (you can also do this by hand).
When the herbs and seasonings are fully combined, turn butter out onto the center of a piece of plastic wrap.
Fold one end of the wrap over the butter and use your hands to form the butter into a disc or log. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap closed and seal tightly.
Then wrap tightly in a piece of foil or parchment and store in the freezer.
