Cowboy Butter (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
02 - ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
03 - 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
04 - 113 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
05 - ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
06 - 1 tablespoon coarse Dijon mustard
07 - ½ teaspoon paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
09 - ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - 1 tablespoon chives, minced
11 - 2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced
12 - ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together butter, chives, thyme, parsley, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, and crushed red pepper. Mix until smooth and everything is incorporated. Makes about ⅔ cup in total. If you'd rather, toss it into a food processor for speed.
02 - Put the butter mixture onto plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap it up tightly and twist the ends closed. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
03 - To make a dipping butter, heat it in the microwave on short 20-second bursts. Stir after each heating until it’s melted.
04 - Keep any leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container. It'll stay good for about 5 days.
