Red Onion, Parsley, Thyme & Sea Salt Compound Butter
I’ll let you in on a little secret: compound butter is where it’s at. One of my favorite ways to dress up meats, vegetables and other sides is by adding compound butter. If you’re not familiar with compound butters: it’s basically a fancy way of saying flavored butter. My most recent favorite is this Red Onion, Parsley, Thyme and Sea Salt version. It is UNREAL on grilled steak. It’s great on a baguette (like above) next to a spaghetti and meatball dinner (which I had tonight) and yummy over roasted vegetables. I like to go heavy on the herbs and add-ins because it adds so much flavor and freshness. Plus I’ve got a pleathora of herbs on hand right now and it makes me feel less guilty about using bread as a vehicle for butter.

Combine all ingredients with a fork or small spatula. Mix well until combined and evenly distributed. Place in serving bowl, scoop in balls, pipe into small serving dishes or roll into a log using plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator and pull out and bring to room temp before serving if you’d like it to easily spread.
