Ingredients

  • 4 oz room temperature butter 1 standard stick, salted
  • 1 teaspoon pressed or minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced chives
  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place room temperature butter in a small mixing bowl. If the temperature where you are is cooler, you may have to very gently warm your butter- it should still be solid but you should be able to mash it with a spoon.
  • Add all remaining ingredients: garlic, chives, smoked paprika, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest and juice, and stir well to combine.
  • Add additional salt to taste, if desired.
  • Place butter on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment and roll up into a cylindar about 1 1/2 inches in diameter Twist ends to secure. Place in fridge to chill.
  • Alternately you can simply store butter in a jar or other airtight container.

Notes

  • Serving ideas: Place a pat of butter on a hot grilled steak, spread on artisan bread or with a bread bar, add to a skillet with eggs, saute veggies, spread on warm corn on the cob, spread on bread and toast grilled cheese, toss with hot pasta.
  • Well wrapped butter can be frozen and stored for 3 months.
  • If you're planning to serve this butter with a bread bar, for example, just place in a jar or an airtight container. Let come to room temperature before serving so it's nice and spreadable.
