Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2.0 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2.0 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2.0 tbsp fresh chives, finely minced
  • 1.0 tbsp fresh oregano, finely minced
  • 2.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.0 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1.0 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.0 tsp lemon zest
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1.0 tsp lime zest (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, chives, and oregano).
  • Add the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
  • If you're looking to elevate the flavor, add the optional lime zest for that extra kick.
  • Using a spatula or your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and the butter takes on a vibrant green hue.
  • Place a sheet of parchment or wax paper on a flat surface. Spoon the herb butter mixture onto the paper and shape it into a log or a block. Roll it tightly and twist the ends to seal.
  • Chill the roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
  • Once ready to use, simply slice rounds off the chilled butter to flavor up grilled meats, vegetables, or a slice of fresh bread, adding a delicious fiery herbaceous kick to your dishes.
