Ingredients
  

  • 2 jalapenos
  • 200 g butter
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 2 garlic

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop the jalapenos, grate the garlic and zest the lime.
  • Add to a bowl with softened butter.
  • Squeeze the juice of half a lime into it. Give it a mix.
  • Transfer to a cling wrap or parchment paper.
  • Roll the cling wrap to shape the jalapeno butter in a log. Refrigerate for an hour or more and use.

Notes

  • If your taste buds are sensitive to heat, you can remove the seeds and white membrane from the center of the jalapenos and use only the green part.
  • You can also add some finely chopped parsley or dill (or both) to the mix to make it more herby and delicious.
  • If you're using unsalted butter, you may want to add a bit of salt to season the butter.
  • If you don't like the chunky bits of jalapenos in the butter, you can blend the garlic and jalapenos together in a blender jar to make a smooth paste, and then fold the mixture into the butter
