How to make compound butter

 

This is an easy recipe that will dress up your summer corn or grilled veggies or really anything that just needs a little extra flavor.  It comes together in minutes and adds such a kick of flavor.  The cilantro is fresh and the lime is tangy with the rich butter- just delicious.

This summer we have been grilling a lot of chicken (cilantro lime chicken is a favorite) with corn on the cob.  That meal seems to be on pretty regular rotation and the cilantro lime butter really elevates this simple meal.

If you haven’t made compound butter it literally takes minutes and you can keep it right in the fridge or freezer for weeks to use over and over again.

So here is the simple recipe- the key here is great quality ingredients.  Really good butter, fresh cilantro and the best organic limes you can get your hands on.

I sometimes just plop this into a little jar and place in the fridge or you can spoon it out onto parchment paper in a log shape.

Roll the paper up and add a saran wrap to hold it tightly together.  Twist the ends and place in fridge to harden.
