Lemon Thyme Butter

Author: Juli

Ingredients

  • 125 g butter
  • 1/3 cup thyme leaves roughly peeled off the stem
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Give the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a narrow mixing bowl and mix until you have a pale white and smooth mixture
  • Melt the butter in the microwave or a water bath - don't melt it in a pot or pan! The butter should be soft but doesn't have to be liquid
  • Add the thyme and the butter to the mixing bowl and blend again
  • Give the butter in a jar and store in the fridge for near-term use

Notes

If you want to store the butter for longer I recommend freezing it in serving size
For freezing, pour the butter in silicon muffin cups and freeze them for about 2 h. Then carefully press the butter out of the cups, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze again
