Various Recipes For Compound Butters
By. Kristi Ambrose

Compound butter is butter combined with herbs and spices. Compound butters such as this one can be served with chicken, fish, beef, pork or even vegetables. For an Asian flare, grated ginger root or diced lemon grass may be added to this butter. Ive personally made this with steak before and just put a little dollop on top before serving and its absolutely delicious! If properly prepared and wrapped for storage, these butters can all stay in the fridge for up to a week and a half. Remember not to leave these out when not using them! They are butter so they will melt!
