Lemon Butter with Chives

This butter is excellent served with seafood, pasta or grilled meats.

1 cup butter, softened
2 Tbsp. chives, finely chopped
1 lemon, freshly zested
½ lemon, freshly juiced
1 tsp. crushed red chili flakes
¼ tsp black pepper, freshly cracked

In a bowl, cream the butter with a mixer.

Add the remaining ingredients and beat for another 5 minutes.

On your counter top, place a plastic film and pour the butter on it.

Using the plastic film, roll up, forming a roll with the butter and refrigerate. Or can be frozen for up to 6 months.
