Three Herb Butter Recipes

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and boil until it's completely evaporated 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the parsley, thyme, and sage and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate. When well chilled, put the remaining butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the herb mixture and beat on medium speed until blended, about 1 minute.
• On a large piece of plastic wrap, shape the herb butter into a log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Combine the butter, garlic, scallions, dill, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat until well blended. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Place 7 tablespoons softened, unsalted butter in a small mixing bowl.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir cooked garlic into reserved softened butter.
• Press minced fresh herbs into the garlic-butter mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring and pressing until evenly distributed. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firmed up, about 20 minutes.
• Turn mixture out onto a 9x12-inch strip of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Form mixture into a log, about 6 inches long and 1 inch thick. Roll herb butter up in the foil or parchment, twisting the ends and closing with a twist tie or rubber band.
• Return to the refrigerator until firmed up, about 40 minutes.
• Slice into 8 equal portions and serve on top of steak or other dishes. Wrap and refrigerate any leftovers up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Soften the butter by stirring and set aside. Wash dill, parsley, and chives and dry with a paper towel. Add garlic to the herbs and chop in a food chopper. Now add salt and mix it with the butter. Divide the herb butter into two and place each portion on a sheet of baking paper. Roll the baking paper with the butter and let it harden in refrigerator. When ready, remove paper and cut into slices. DONE!
