How to Make Hot Chili Pepper Butter

  1. Let 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter soften to room temperature.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chili peppers (or 3 tablespoons dried), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
  3. Pack the chili pepper butter into small molds, crocks, or use a melon baller to form 1-inch balls.
  4. Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
