Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 3 stalks scallions (green onions), finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

1. Remove the butter from the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature so it becomes soft and spreadable.

Step 2

2. Finely chop the scallions, including both the white and green parts, and set aside.

Step 3

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped scallions, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

4. Use a fork or spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

5. Scoop the scallion butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log and tightly wrap it. Alternatively, transfer it to a small airtight container.

Step 6

6. Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to firm up and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

7. Serve the scallion butter as a spread for bread, a topping for steaks, fish, or vegetables, or mix it into warm pasta for a rich, savory touch.
