Flavorful Honey Lime Garlic Butter Recipe Delight
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 unit zest of lime
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Use a hand mixer or a fork to blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Ensure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Taste the butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary—add more honey for sweetness or more lime juice for acidity as desired.
- Once mixed, transfer the honey lime garlic butter onto a piece of parchment paper. Shape it into a log, rolling it tightly, and then twist the ends to secure. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- After the butter has solidified, slice it into rounds or serve it in small portions.
