Flavored butter proves to be a valuable ally in the kitchen, adding a touch of flavor without complications to boiled or grilled meats and fish. This culinary delight is a widespread tradition in Central European gastronomy, where it is rare to find a main dish without its fragrant and herb-rich accompaniment, both in France and Germany. The combinations of herbs are endless, allowing your creativity to express itself freely according to your tastes, always guaranteeing an excellent result. Here's a delicious recipe to create your flavored butter to use with meat:
Ingredients: 250 g of butter 15 g of shallot 1 teaspoon of Peperita 11 Herbs (you can choose the classic variant, Habanero for a spicy touch, or Carolina Reaper for an extreme spiciness)
Instructions:
- Start by putting 50 g of butter in a pan and gently melt it over low heat.
- Add the finely chopped shallot and let it soften over very low heat for about 10 minutes, being careful not to let it take on color.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
- Put the remaining butter at room temperature in a bowl and add the softened shallot and the chosen teaspoon of Peperita 11 Herbs.
- Mix the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Prepare a sheet of parchment paper and pour the mixture into the center, forming a cylinder.
- Wrap the butter in parchment paper, closing it like a candy.
- Put the flavored butter in the refrigerator and let it firm up for at least 2-3 hours. Once ready, your flavored butter will be perfect for seasoning meats and fish, giving them a special touch of aromatic herbs and, if desired, a light spicy touch.
