GATHER & MEASURE

Ingredients

Butters and herbs

Garlic, lemon and seasoning

Two portions of softened butter, parsley, chives, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper

Grate the garlic finely so it disperses through the butter.

FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Softened butter being stirred in a ceramic bowl

    Blend the two softened butters

    Stir plain butter and cannabutter together until completely uniform.

  2. Parsley, chives and lemon zest being folded through butter

    Fold in the herbs, garlic and lemon

    Fold in parsley, chives, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

    Taste the seasoning without consuming a full serving; adjust salt, lemon and pepper as needed.

  3. A log of herb butter being rolled in parchment

    Roll the log and chill

    Scrape onto parchment, shape into a tight log and twist the ends. Chill at least 30 minutes.

  4. A chilled log of herb butter cut into equal coins

    Slice equal portions

    Mark or slice the log into 16 equal tablespoon portions so dosing stays consistent.

    Use a measured portion on bread, pasta, vegetables, potatoes or cooked proteins after they come off intense direct heat.

Recipe FAQ

Questions about Green Goddess Garlic Butter

Can I freeze cannabis compound butter?

Yes. Freeze pre-portioned slices up to three months in an airtight container.

What herbs can I substitute?

Dill, basil, tarragon or cilantro can replace part of the parsley and chives.

Can I cook with it over high heat?

It is better as a finishing butter. High direct heat can scorch milk solids and degrade flavor.
