Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter
• 15 grams Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Allow the unsalted butter to sit at room temperature until softened but not melted.

Step 2

Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely using a microplane or fine grater. You should end up with about 15 grams of grated ginger (around 1 tablespoon).

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, add the softened butter, grated ginger, honey, lemon zest, and a small pinch of salt.

Step 4

Use a fork or spatula to combine all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the flavorings are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Taste the ginger butter and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a tiny bit more salt or honey to balance the flavors to your liking.

Step 6

Transfer the ginger butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or press it into a small serving dish, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Step 8

Use as a topping for bread, vegetables, meats, or anywhere you want a hint of ginger and sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
