- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until well combined and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
- Transfer the garlic butter to a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
- When ready to use, slice off pieces as needed and spread on bread, vegetables, or meats.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Substitute the parsley and chives with other herbs like basil or thyme for a different flavor profile.
