Garlic & Herb Compound Butter

(also tasty with StarCatcher's gourmet herbal blend: TASTE OF TUSCANY )

​

INGREDIENTS

1 cup softened butter (salted or salt free)

2 tablespoons StarCatcher GARLIC & HERB blend

2 tablespoons - 1/3 cup first cold pressed olive oil

(choose quantity of olive oil depending on desired softness. More olive oil results in an easily spreadable butter. Less olive oil results in a hard compound butter)

(optional) 2 teaspoons lemon juice

(optional) salt to taste

​

Remove butter from refrigerator and allow to soften for 10 minutes.

Mix olive oil, lemon juice (optional), and StarCatcher GARLIC & HERB in a bowl. Let sit 20 minutes. 

Add butter and salt (if using salt). Blend ingredients together until well mixed. (Use fork, immersion blender, or blender...your choice!)

Place butter in a small bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

​

OPTIONS: If making a hard butter, roll the butter into a small log and wrap in wax paper. Keep in refrigerator and slice off rounds of butter when needed.

​

SIMPLE OPTION: Use a tasty whipped butter blend and add 2 tablespoons of StarCatcher GARLIC & HERB blend. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
