Lemon Dill Compound Butter

We’ve used dill for this recipe, but the beauty of it is that you can swap in whatever herbs you have on hand – parsley, rosemary, or even a mix! This simple herb butter is perfect for storing in the fridge, so you can slice off a piece whenever your cooking needs a little extra flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or more, to taste)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
2. Spoon the butter mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper over and roll the butter into a smooth cylinder shape. (Tip: If your butter is too soft to roll, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up.)
3. Twist the ends of the parchment paper to seal it.
4. Refrigerate the butter until firm.
5. Once firm, slice into ½-inch rounds and serve. You can store extra slices in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer for up to one month.
