This Basil Lemon Butter is delicious on a dinner roll and a very versatile kitchen ingredient for recipes like herb butter turkey!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves tips & tricks
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened tips & tricks
- 1/2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste tips & tricks
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 1 tsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped tips & tricks
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Directions
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the basil and process until finely chopped. Transfer to a stainless steel bowl
- Add butter, lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, parsley and garlic salt. Using a hand mixer, process until very well combined.
- Spoon the butter into a silicon mold or use an ice cube tray. Level the butter and tap the the mold (or tray) on the counter to compact the butter mixture.
- Transfer to the freezer until the butter gets hard, about 2 hours.
- When hard, remove from the mold, wrap them individually in cling film and store the cubes into a re-sealable freezer bag. Transfer them back to the freezer until needed.
