🥕 Ingredients

250g unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp tarragon or thyme, finely chopped
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp salt

👩‍🍳 Method

Beat butter until very light and fluffy — 3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Stir in garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Taste — adjust seasoning. Add more herbs as desired.

Roll in plastic wrap to form a tight log. Refrigerate until firm or freeze.

Slice from frozen to top steaks, melt over vegetables, or toss through pasta.
