Make the Tastiest Herb Butter Yourself

With a block of butter, fresh herbs and garlic you can whip up your own herb butter in no time. Make a large batch and freeze the rolls so you always have fresh herb butter on hand.

8 servings

Ingredients

  • Block of butter
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 lemon
  • Fresh herbs: chives and parsley
  • Pepper & salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    1. Remove the butter from its packaging and melt it slowly over low heat in a small saucepan. The butter should not become fully liquid, just soften a little so you can stir it.2. Put the softened butter into the mixing bowl and press the garlic cloves over it. Finely chop the fresh herbs and stir them into the butter. The amounts are to taste; I would use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of each. Squeeze the lemon and stir the juice into the butter as well — better to use a little less than too much. Finally, season the butter with plenty of pepper and salt.3. Now you can place the butter on the plastic wrap (for example divided into 4 portions), roll it into logs and freeze them easily. That way you'll always have your own fresh herb butter within reach. Just thaw and spread!
