How to Make Avocado Grilling Butter

  1. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter into small squares.
  2. Peel and seed 1 ripe avocado (about 1 medium) and cut into small pieces.
  3. Mash the butter and avocado together in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Finely seed and dice 1-2 jalapeño peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Add the diced jalapeño, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon lime zest to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
  6. Line a small loaf pan (approximately 5x3 inches) with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  7. Spoon the avocado butter mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Fold the plastic wrap over the top of the butter and press firmly to shape into a log.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  10. To use, slice a pat of the avocado butter and melt it over your favorite grilled meats during the last minute of cooking. Or, add a slice on top of resting meat to let it melt.
  11. For garlic bread, spread the butter on toasted French bread, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
