Yield about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup finely minced shallots
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves
4 anchovies, chopped
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely minced
2 pinches of paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a food processor with the shallots, garlic, thyme leaves, anchovies, lemon zest and lemon juice. Puree until smooth.
  • With the motor running, drizzle the olive oil into the butter. Transfer the butter to a bowl and fold in the parsley and paprika and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roll up the butter in parchment paper to form a log and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours, for easy slicing and portioning. The butter can also be frozen for up to 4 weeks.
