How to Make Louisiana Compound Butter
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro.
- Using a fork or spatula, gently mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually stir in 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (adjust to your desired spice level). Mix until fully incorporated.
- Line a small loaf pan (approximately 8x4 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Transfer the butter mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a log.
- Fold the parchment paper over the butter log to completely enclose it.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, carefully remove the butter log from the loaf pan and peel off the parchment paper.
- Slice the butter into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick rounds and serve immediately atop your favorite grilled dish.
