Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 sticks salted butter, softened, divided
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¾ cup bourbon
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add shallot and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Whisk in bourbon until combined, then cook until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the stove and cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine remaining 3 sticks plus 5 tablespoons butter, parsley, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Add cooled bourbon-butter mixture and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Transfer butter to a sheet of waxed paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate until fully chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Use as desired.
