Directions

Step 1

Take the butter out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or until easily pliable.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press to create a smooth paste.

Roughly chop the chipotle peppers into small pieces.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and salt.

Step 5

Using a spatula, fork, or hand mixer, thoroughly blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 6

Taste the butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch of more salt or a squeeze more lime juice as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, parchment paper, or wax paper.

Step 8

Shape the butter into a log or rectangular block, then roll it tightly in the wrap and twist the ends to secure.

Step 9

Refrigerate the butter for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

When ready to use, slice the butter into discs or chunks, and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
