Chili Pepper Butter with Lime

Great on seafood or vegetables.

1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp. chili pepper, finely chopped
½ tsp. lime zest, freshly grated
1 lime, freshly juiced
½ cup (4 oz, 1 stick) butter, softened (113 g)

Sauté the garlic and oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Add the chili pepper, lime juice and the butter, cooking only until the butter is melted. Add the lime zest.

Remove from heat and skim off the butterfat. Use to season vegetables.
