I love making herb butter myself. It's so quick, not difficult and better than ready-made: you know exactly what you're putting into it, and it's only fresh ingredients.

Make the Tastiest Herb Butter Yourself

1. Remove the butter from its packaging and melt it slowly over low heat in a small saucepan. The butter should not become fully liquid, just soften a little so you can stir it.

2. Put the softened butter into the mixing bowl and press the garlic cloves over it. Finely chop the fresh herbs and stir them into the butter. The amounts are to taste; I would use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of each. Squeeze the lemon and stir the juice into the butter as well — better to use a little less than too much. Finally, season the butter with plenty of pepper and salt.

3. Now you can place the butter on the plastic wrap (for example divided into 4 portions), roll it into logs and freeze them easily. That way you'll always have your own fresh herb butter within reach. Just thaw and spread!

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

This herb butter is delicious on a grilled piece of meat, tossed through pasta or simply on a slice of fresh bread. Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and garlic to your own taste.

By freezing the butter in rolls you'll always have a portion ready. Slice off a piece when you need it and let it thaw for a moment. So easy and much tastier than ready-made herb butter from the store.
