Herb Butter:
- ½ pound unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup diced chives or green onion Or use tarragon or basil. Use fresh herbs, not dried
- 2 oranges, zested (zest only) Or 4 smaller oranges (like mandarin)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt Omit salt if using salted butter
Avoid wrapping the butter in wax paper, which (in my experience) tends to stick to the butter (especially when softening the whole log).
Nutrition information assumes 1 tablespoon of butter per serving.
