How to Make Compound Butter

Compound Butter:

Things you'll need:

Butter...1 lb. (4 sticks) unsalted, please
Fresh Sage...1 Tbsp
Fresh Rosemary...1 Tbsp
Fresh Thyme...1 Tbsp
Olive Oil...1Tbsp

These three (sage, rosemary, and thyme) are also referred to as a Poultry Mix. All measurements are considered a baseline; if you prefer a stronger flavor, you can increase the amount of herbs or reduce the amount for a milder flavor. If you cannot find fresh herbs and need to use dried herbs, you will need to reduce the baseline measurements by 1/2, as the dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor.

• Place butter on counter to soften


• Take the herbs (try to avoid including the stems) and chop them very fine or, if you have a food processor, place them in there and pulse until finely chopped.


• Next take your softened butter and place in your food processor


• Add a small amount of olive oil (1Tbls)




• If you do not have a food processor (like me), place butter and herbs in a bowl and mix with a mixer until well combined.


• Pulse until well combined


• Take plastic wrap and place on the counter


• empty butter onto the plastic wrap


• fold the wrap over the butter


• Using the edge of a cookie tray or other straight object, press it against the butter and tightly form into a log about 1-inch in diameter (the plastic wrap acts as a mold)


• careful not to get the plastic wrap under the butter, roll-up and twist both ends


• place butter in refrigerator
