Dill Butter

Ingredients

1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup (10 g) finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, work together the butter, dill, and mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scoop onto a sheet of plastic wrap and, using the wrap, shape into a cylinder the diameter of a silver dollar. Wrap in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until firm.

    Step 2

    You may use the butter now, leave it in the fridge longer, or freeze it to use later. (It is good on poached fish or poultry.)
