Parsley Butter Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Purée all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it softens but does not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool. Then stir this garlic butter into the remaining butter in a small bowl. Stir in the parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rip open the baguette lengthwise, so that it opens like a book but is not ripped entirely in half. Smear the inside of the baguette with the garlic butter. Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the garlic-parsley butter: Puree the butter, parsley, shallots, lemon zest, roasted garlic and a little salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Open the oysters with an oyster knife. Divide the oysters among small baking dishes lined with baguette slices. Place a heaping teaspoon of garlic-parsley butter on each oyster. Roast the oysters until the butter is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine butter, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the parsley, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To prepare the mushrooms, remove stems, lightly coat with olive oil, and grill until tender. Place a spoonful of the butter mixture on each mushroom, and bake until butter is melted, approximately 3 minutes.
• To serve, place on large platter, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Take 100g of butter out of the fridge for an hour to soften. Flavour is key, so use good-quality semi-salted or unsalted butter. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon until it is soft and creamy, then beat in any of the flavourings you fancy. See each below.
• Tip the flavoured butter onto a square of baking parchment or cling film, roll it around the butter to form a sausage shape, then twist the ends to seal. The butter is now ready to be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to a month in the freezer.

Steps:

• Let butter soften to room temperature.
• Beat in other ingredients.
• Pack butter into molds or crocks or form balls with a melon baller.
• Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
• Can be stored for up to 1 month in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.

Steps:

• Make a fine puree of all the ingredients in a food processor. Put the butter on a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and roll into a log, about 1 inches in diameter. Wrap well and freeze up to a year. Use a sharp, hot knife to cut off pieces just before using. The butter can be stuffed under chicken skin before cooking, melted over grilled fish, veal or beef or steamed vegetables or tossed with pasta.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine butter, and fresh parsley leaves with a spoon; season with coarse salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Using an electric mixer on medium, beat butter in a medium bowl until smooth. With motor off, add wine, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then beat on medium until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add garlic, shallot, and parsley; mix just until incorporated. Transfer butter to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off end (or 1 corner if using plastic bag).
• Place shells in a single layer in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish and pipe about 2 tsp. garlic-parsley butter into each. Tuck a snail inside each shell, then pipe in more garlic-parsley butter to fill shell and mound over top. Bake until snails are sizzling and garlic in butter no longer tastes raw, 10-15 minutes.
• Do Ahead:
• Shells can be filled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.
