Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is smooth and well blended. For an even smoother blend, pulse the ingredients together in a food processor.
- Shape Butter: To form a butter log, place the combined butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Tightly wrap the butter and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
- Prepare as a Dip: If using as a dip, warm the butter in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval until melted and ready for dipping.
- Storage: Store the creole butter in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
- Serve: Use this flavorful Creole butter to enhance grilled or roasted meats, seafood, steamed or roasted vegetables, or spread it warmly over fresh bread for an unforgettable taste boost.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to easily combine with the spices.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level if you want it milder or hotter.
- Chill the butter log before slicing for easier handling and serving.
- This butter can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before use.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor impact.
