Making homemade compound herb butter allows you to be creative with flavor profiles elevating any dish.  Whether it’s herby or spicy, put your individual stamp on it.

How to make compound herb butter.

Compound Herb Butter Ingredients

I strongly recommend going with a higher quality butter, because of it’s higher butter fat content adding more flavor. 

In a mixing bowl, add 1 stick of room temperature butter, chopped parsley, rosemary and sage. For another layer of freshness and spice, grate a few garlic cloves. Next add in salt and crushed red peppers.  Mix all the ingredients together until the butter is completely mashed and blended in evenly with the herbs.

Place the butter mixture onto plastic wrap, wrap it and roll it tightly forming a log shape.  Next, place it into the refrigerator allowing it to firm up making it easier to slice.
