How to Make Mustard Chive Butter
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped shallots and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots and garlic are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooled shallot mixture with 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Scrape the butter mixture onto the center of a 12-inch long sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Shape into a log, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. Slice and serve atop your favorite grilled meats.
