How to Make Garlic And Parsley Herb Butter

  1. Let 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter soften to room temperature.
  2. Mince 4 cloves of garlic and finely chop 1/2 cup of fresh parsley.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Beat until well combined.
  5. Pack the herb butter into small molds, ramekins, or simply shape into balls using a melon baller.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
  7. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
