Ingredients
- 1 lb. salted butter, room temperature
- 1 bunch fresh tarragon leaves
- ½ cup capers, chopped coarse
- Zest of 3 lemons
- 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
Preparation
To Prepare:
Whip butter to light and fluffy consistency. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Caper-Tarragon Compound Butter is delightful when used to finish roasted or grilled fish, shellfish or chicken. It is also a tasty spread for your favorite Nugget Market artisan bread!
Butter can be used immediately or you may create various shapes by using parchment paper or a pastry bag with your favorite "frosting" tips. Rolling butter in parchment paper allows you to store it for up to 1 month in the freezer.
To Roll in Parchment Paper:
Lay 1, 10" x 14" piece of parchment on the counter. Use rubber spatula to scrape butter from bowl onto the lower third of the paper. Lift bottom of paper; fold over to cover butter completely, then use hands to shape into a cylindrical form. Once its shaped, roll butter in paper to the opposite edge (like a Tootsie Roll); twist edges to seal.
When Using a Pastry Bag & Tip:
Pastry tips can be used to make a variety of shapes – from leaves to roses. However, when using this method all ingredients must be minced fine in order to pass through the tip you choose to use.
