Compound Butter - luvnit - 09-28-2007 I have been making and using compound butter off and on for 20 years or so. I kind of go in streaks where I make it for a while, then forget about it, then remember it again and wondered why stopped. Anyway, I guess I am on the 'Compund Butter' band wagon these days and here is a great one I found: Cajun-style Compound Butter
To make the compound butter: With a spatula, mix the softened butter with the Cajun seasoning and lemon juice. Add the chopped parsley, if desired. Chill in fridge. Re: Compound Butter - cjs - 09-29-2007 I'm with you, Laura - I love playing with compound butters and I also seem to do them in spurts. When I was working, I used to serve this one with the prime rib - 1 bunch rosemary, stripped & Pecans, broken - process to very small pcs, but not paste. Toast together and let cool In a processor, whip butter and add the rosemary mix + s&p + blue cheese Wrap in a log and chill for service. and I love unsalted butter mixed with lemon zest and s&p. (now you have me going again...and with all the herbs going crazy... ) Re: Compound Butter - Old Bay - 09-29-2007 Bearnaise Butter 1/4 C dry white wine 1 T minced shallot 1/4 t dried tarragon 5 T butter 1 T minced fresh tarragon Boil first three ingredients in small saucepan until liquid evaporates, about 2 min. Cool. Mix butter and fresh tarragon into shallot mixture. season with salt and pepper. Form into a log wrap in plastic and freeze until ready to use. Will substitute very well for bearnaise sauce flavor. Great on steaks. Re: Compound Butter - esgunn - 09-29-2007 Yum! my hubby will love this one!

Re: Compound Butter - Old Bay - 09-29-2007 I use smoked paprica instead of liquid smoke --soooo much better. Re: Compound Butter - luvnit - 10-01-2007 Oohhhh I have to try this one!
