Compound Butter - Alton Brown - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb unsalted butter
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced

Preparation

Chop the butter into uniform chunks.
Place the oil into a food processor and add the chives. Process until the chives are finely chopped. Add the remaining herbs and blend until the herbs have colored the oil.
Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter at medium speed until it softens and lightens in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the herb oil to the butter and beat for another 2 minutes until oil is fully incorporated.
Remove butter from bowl and spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log.
Chill for 2 hours before serving.
