  • Use a mixture of fresh herbs. In my video and pictures I used 1 Tablespoon Parsley, 2 Tablespoon Chives, 2 Teaspoon Savory, 2 Teaspoon Marjoram, 2 Teaspoon Dill weed freshly chopped fine.

  • Alternativly you can also us a food pressor to prepare compound butter by adding all ingredients into the food processor and turning it into a well combined mass.
