Compound Butter
Fiery Compound Butter
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Rest Time: 1 hour
Yield: 1 roll (roughly 8 ounces)
Ingredients
8 ounces Zeal Creamery Salted Butter, room temperature
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chives, snipped fine
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Tabasco, or other hot sauce of choice
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Directions:
To a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until thoroughly combined.
Place butter ⅓ of the way from the bottom of a 12-inch piece of parchment paper or saran wrap.
Roughly work the butter to form it into a roll that’s roughly 2-inches in diameter. It doesn’t need to be perfect!
Fold the paper or plastic over the butter and roll upwards until the butter is covered. Gently roll to create a log shape and twist the edges around the log to seal it.
Place in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours. Use as desired.
Notes:
Use the butter in a pasta for some added heat, stuff it in the center of a chicken breast, over grilled veggies or meat, or even in soup!
