How to Make Peppercorn Butter

  1. Combine 2 tablespoons (10g) black peppercorns and 1 tablespoon (5g) coriander seeds in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground, leaving some texture.
  2. Add 1 cup (2 sticks or 227g) unsalted butter, softened, to the food processor. Process until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. (Optional) Stir in 1 teaspoon (5ml) pink peppercorns for extra color and a touch of sweetness.
  4. Transfer the peppercorn butter to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again in foil for extra protection. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving. Store refrigerated for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
