Garlic & Parsley Butter

I love the flavour and creaminess of butter. Spreading it on freshly baked bread or adding it to steaming pasta is so rewarding. Compound butters are made by adding ingredients such as herbs or spices to butter, these butters can be added to sauces or used on top of meats or fish to enhance their flavour. Herbed butter is easy to make and extremely versatile. If you are concerned that your herbs are going to go to waste then make butter or freeze them in olive oil to preserve them.

Compound Butter on Snapper

Begin by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl and roll in parchment paper (grease paper), which I placed on cling film.

Mix ingredients for the butter

Mix butter thoroughly

Roll your butter

Roll and twist as tight as you can to seal.

Twist tightly

Place in the fridge (I put mine between two items in the fridge door so that it kept tight and did not unravel). Refrigerate for at least an hour, until firm.
