Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced or grated
- 1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more as needed, to taste
Instructions
- In a small food processor, pulse the parsley, shallots, garlic, and lemon juice until finely chopped. Add the butter and puree, stopping and scraping down the bowl of the processor as you go. Season to taste with salt.
- On a piece of plastic wrap, spoon the butter into a log-like line about 1 ½ inches wide. Fold the plastic wrap over the butter and roll the butter up, forming a log shape. Refrigerate or freeze until solid.
- To serve, let butter soften slightly. Place 1/4-inch slices of the butter on hot grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
