Orange chive compound butter

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Unsalted butter; room temperature
Zest of 1 orange
Juice of 1/2 orange; strained
½ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Minced fresh chives

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with a wooden spoon. Wash and dry the orange. Grate the zest into the bowl with the butter, then add the orange juice, salt, and chives; mix well. Spoon the butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper lengthwise over the mixture. Push a cookie sheet across the folded paper against the butter, forcing it into a neat roll; continue pushing against the butter until the desired length is reached. Twist the ends of the paper together, and tie with twine. Place in a plastic bag, and store in the freezer up to a month. Slice off pats, and serve with grilled fish, chicken, bread, or soups. Makes ½ pound.
