Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature so it becomes soft and spreadable.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and thyme leaves, then set them aside.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves into very fine pieces or use a garlic press to create a smooth paste.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped herbs, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 5

Using a spatula or a hand mixer, thoroughly blend all ingredients until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer the compound butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, shaping it into a log. Roll tightly, twisting the ends to seal.

Step 7

Refrigerate the rolled butter for at least 1 hour until firm, or place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes for quicker results.

Step 8

Slice the Blarney Butter into rounds to serve, or leave it in the log to slice as needed. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
