Ingredients
- 4 sticks softened unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 peeled and small diced shallot
- 6 finely minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons prepared horseradish
- coarse salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the softened butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and whip on medium to high speed until light and fluffy, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
- In the meantime add the oil to a medium-sized frying pan and heat for 1 minute over low to medium heat.
- Add in the onions and garlic and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until softened and very lightly browned.
- Turn the stand mixer speed down to low and transfer the cooked onions and garlic to the stand mixer and add them in.
- Next, add in the paprika, cayenne, red pepper flakes, thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish.
- Turn the speed back up to medium-high and mix until incorporated. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
- You can add it to a container and place it in the refrigerator or freezer. I added the whipped butter to a piece of parchment paper that I then rolled to form a cylinder. I like to do this so that I can take slices from it and use them in recipes.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to five days ahead of time. Keep it in the refrigerator or freezer until you need it.
- How to Store: Cover and keep the cowboy butter in the refrigerator for 7 days. Cover and freeze for up to 6 months.
- You can use this butter directly from the freezer in whatever you want to use it in.
- Feel free to use electric hand beaters if that is all that’s available.
- You can use other fresh herbs such as oregano, basil, chervil, or chives.
- The butter should be intensely flavorful as it is used to enhance the flavor of whatever you add it to, you aren’t eating it by itself.
- Cooking the garlic and onion removes the bite from the vegetables, so they are less intense when eaten in the butter.
- A compound butter is creamed butter with other ingredients, such as spices and herbs. In France, it’s known as beurre compose.
