Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves to ensure even distribution of flavor in the butter.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and red wine vinegar. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Chill the mixture: Transfer the chimichurri butter to a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form it into a log or desired shape, and refrigerate until firm, approximately 1 hour.
  4. Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice the butter and use it to enhance grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh bread.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the final product.
  • Red wine vinegar adds acidity; adjust to taste or substitute with white vinegar if preferred.
  • Store the butter wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for extended storage.
  • For a smoother texture, you may blend the ingredients in a food processor before chilling.
