Thyme Garlic Butter

By AzWench

We like this butter on grilled steak.

Ingredients

• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a heavy knife. Transfer to a food processor along with remaining ingredients and blend.

Roll into a 6-inch log in a sheet of plastic wrap, twisting ends closed. Chill, covered, at least 2 hours for flavors to develop. Bring to room temperature before using.
