Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups butter room temperature
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste optional
  • 4-5 large cloves of garlic
  • 1 small shallot about 2 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives 1 tsp dried
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley 1 tsp dried

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until it has almost doubled in mass and it has lightened to a yellowish-white color, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add salt, pepper and anchovy paste (if using) and process for an additional minute until well combined.
  3. In a small food processor finely dice garlic cloves, shallot, parsley and chives for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Add the garlic mixture from the food processor into the creamed butter in the bowl of the stand mixer. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
  5. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat for two additional minutes until well incorporated.
  6. Place bowl into refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Once the butter has chilled, remove from the refrigerator and spoon onto wax paper. Form into a roll, twisting the ends of the wax paper to seal.
  8. Store in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
  9. To use, cut off the desired amount and use to season vegetables, mushrooms, potatoes, steak or pasta. Enjoy!
