Homemade Fresh Herb Butter
Fresh Herb Butter to be used for elevating any savory dish.
I can’t believe I recently discovered herb butter. My friend gave me a bunch of fresh herbs from her garden and I had no clue what to do with them. I had parsley, thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary, and sage on hand. The first idea that popped up was making herb butter. It goes with almost anything to add more flavor to a meal. When I used it with my egg recipes, such as my Egg Breakfast Sandwich or steak, it blew my mind how tasty it was. It barely calls for any ingredients and can be prepared within minutes. Simply roll, wrap, and freeze to use it at your convenience. It looks beautiful once it’s all rolled up. You will never want to use regular butter in your savory dishes again once you try my fresh herb butter recipe:
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter (8 Tbsp. or ½ cup), at room temperature
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup fresh oregano, chopped
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
½ lemon, zest and juice
1 shallot, minced
2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Kitchen Equipment:
Knife
Cutting Board
Large Mixing Bowl
Parchment paper
Strong tape
Wooden spoon
Rubber Spatula
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, add all of your prepared ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated into the butter.
Pour everything out of the bowl using a rubber spatula onto the parchment paper. Shape your butter like a cylindrical tube. Fold the parchment paper to keep the shape of the butter. Tape up the ends of the parchment paper with strong tape.
Put the butter into a plastic bag and store in the freezer for future use. This will last a long time and can be used for almost anything. One of my favorites was using this herb butter in my Egg Breakfast Sandwich. I especially recommend this being used for sautéing vegetables.
I recently created a YouTube Channel, RAD Kitchen where I shared a recipe using my fresh herb butter. Click the link below to view my cooking demo.
