Fresh Herb Butter

 

Inspired by 'The Little Peasant'

Delicious on Toast - would be great on meat and vegetables.

 

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (you can use salted butter IF you omit the salt from the recipe)

1/4 tea. salt (omit if using salted butter)

2 table parsley, finely chopped

2 table. chives, finely chopped

2 teas. lemon juice

Black pepper, to taste

Add butter to a bowl and fold in the rest of the ingredients until well mixed. Butter is ready at this point to use OR you can form the herb butter into a ball and cover well in plastic wrap. Herb butter will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
