Artisanal Citrus & Herb Compound Butter - Garnishes and Dreams

Artisanal Citrus & Herb Compound Butter

Elevate your steaks, seafood, and warm bread with this luxurious, savory butter packed with fresh herbs and intense citrus.

Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! Compound butter is a secret weapon used in high-end steakhouses and French restaurants. By blending softened butter with herbs and finely chopped dehydrated citrus, you create a flavor bomb that melts beautifully over hot food. Dehydrated citrus is superior here because it adds intense lemon oil and a slight chewy texture without adding water that would cause the butter to split.
