- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Herbs:
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
Seasonings:
- ½ clove garlic, grated
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Gather a compact mixing vessel and place softened butter at room temperature inside.
- Delicately mince fresh dill and chives into fine, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the butter.
- Use a microplane grater to transform garlic clove into a fragrant, delicate pulp that will seamlessly blend with butter’s creamy texture.
- Sprinkle high-quality sea salt over the softened butter to enhance its savory undertones.
- Thoroughly blend all ingredients using a flexible spatula, ensuring each herb and seasoning is meticulously integrated into the butter’s smooth consistency.
- Lay out a rectangular sheet of parchment paper or translucent plastic wrap on a clean work surface.
- Carefully transfer the herbed butter mixture onto the center of the prepared wrapping material.
- Gently roll the butter into a cylindrical shape, applying consistent pressure to create a compact, uniform log.
- Twist both ends of the wrapping material tightly to seal the butter and prevent air exposure.
- Place the wrapped herb butter in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or ideally overnight to allow flavors to meld and texture to solidify.
- Remove from refrigerator approximately 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to spread on bread, toast, or grilled vegetables.
