How to Make Kalamata Olive And Garlic Butter

  1. In a medium-size bowl, whip 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy using a mixer or a fork.
  2. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped Kalamata olives, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. For optimal flavor infusion, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. To serve, bring to room temperature for easier spreading. Alternatively, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut the chilled butter into slices.
  5. Store leftover compound butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
