Ingredients
- 1 stick of salted butter, softened
- 6 cloves, or 3 tsp. roasted garlic, (see this recipe)
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh dill
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tsp. chopped chives
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients, and mix until garlic and herbs are well incorporated with the butter.
- Place butter in a log shape on a large piece of parchment paper. Use the paper to roll the compound butter into a cylinder shape, and fold in ends of paper to seal. Place in an airtight container or a gallon-sized ziplock back, and place in the freezer.
- When ready to use, remove from the freezer, and cut off a slice, or two, or as many as you need.
