Ingredients
- 200 g unsalted butter cubed (slightly softened - see my notes)
- ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely sliced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 garlic cloves cores removed and crushed
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon fine cooking salt
Instructions
- Cut a piece of baking paper/parchment paper 30cm square and set aside.
- In a bowl, place all of the ingredients and mix until well combined (I begin with a potato masher then change to a fork).
- Roughly form the butter mixture into a log shape in the bowl.
- Place the butter log longways and towards the bottom of the piece of baking paper.
- Roll up from the bottom to enclose the log (messy is ok at this stage) then grasp either end of the log and twist in opposite directions (like a bonbon) to tighten and smooth out the log.
- Refrigerate until needed.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- The butter needs to be just soft enough to be able to combine with the remaining ingredients, and I recommend using the best butter you can afford.
- Garlic cloves have a central core (some bigger than others) that can have a harsh, raw onion taste. This becomes more mellow as the garlic is heated as the dish cooks. I slice the cloves in half and remove them for recipes where the garlic will stay raw like this recipe.
