Measurements:

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp granulated garlic
2 limes
zest grated
½ cup cilantro leaves
1 tsp kosher salt
8 oz unsalted butter
at room temperature, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

1Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add the pepper flakes, garlic, lime zest, cilantro and salt and process until finely chopped, scraping down the side occasionally.
2Add the butter and lime juice and process until well combined, scraping down the side occasionally.
3Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the countertop and spoon the butter mixture in the center. Wrap the butter in the plastic wrap and roll into a log, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes to chill.
Tip: Butter can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
4Having this in the freezer is a license to upgrade with the cut of a zingy slice. Stir it through steamed rice or greens, noodles or spaghetti. Melt over shrimp, steak or chicken or add to baked fish and stir fries.
