It’s garlicky herby butter and it’s easy!. What else do I need to say to convince you how easy and awesome this is? This is so wonderful to have on hand for a flavorful add in to just about any dish. It’s also delicious spread over some warm bread. This stores really well, wrapped tightly in the fridge. If you don’t need a whole log (I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t ) you can easily cut the recipe in half.

Enjoy!

Herb and Shallot Compound Butter

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 small shallot, cut in half
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped basil

In a food processor, pulse to chop garlic, shallot, parsley and basil. Once chopped, add butter and pulse long enough to combine thoroughly. Place butter in a mound on a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap to form a log with plastic wrap. Store in fridge wrapped tightly. When needed, slice butter off log.
*If you don’t have a food processor, it’s no problem! Chop herbs, garlic and shallot finely. Stir into softened butter and follow directions for storage above.
