Herb Butter

Steve Hunter

Yield:Yields 1 lb.

Apat of this herb butter enhances grilled seafood, chicken, or steak. Try adding it to rice, pasta, and soups. For the most flavor, mash in as much of the herbs as the butter will hold. Any tender herb is appropriate. Wrap the butter tightly in plastic so it doesn’t absorb odors.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened to room temperature
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cups assorted fresh tender herb leaves (choose from tarragon, thyme, parsley, basil, dill, chives, marjoram, chervil)
