Compound Butter

Making compound butter is an easy way to incorporate herbs into your diet year-round.
1 lb butter, unsalted (find 1 lb blocks of Cabot butter in the farm shop)
4 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs (choose one, or combine: thyme, oregano, mint, parsely, sage)
2 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

 First bring the butter to room temperature. If the butter is too hard, it will be more challenging to incorporate the herbs evenly. Cut the butter into chunks and add o a large bowl, food processor, or Kitchen Aid stand up mixer. Start whipping the butter until it starts to cream. Add the herbs, salt, and pepper, continue to whip until all evenly incorporated. Add 1/4-1/2 pound increments to a large sheet of parchment. Roll the parchment up as you would a sushi roll, forming a tight log.
