Email
Compound butter is butter packed with flavorings. This one has a balance of pepper, parsley, and orange that is delicious atop anything from halibut to a grilled ear of corn.
Game plan: This butter will last up to 1 month in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
- 1/4 cup minced fresh Italian parsley
- 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place butter in a mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula to soften until it is very spreadable. Add remaining ingredients, and mix until thoroughly combined.
