Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 teaspoon finely minced rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 clove)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare wine reduction: Combine the red wine, rosemary, and garlic in a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce has reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool completely before mixing it with the butter and salt.
- Mix with butter: Once the wine reduction has cooled completely, place it in a medium bowl with the softened butter and salt and mix it in using a wooden spoon or large spatula. (If you are making a larger batch, it is helpful to use an electric mixer.)
- Let flavors meld: Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors time to meld and then it’s ready to serve.
- Chill or shape: Use it at room temperature if you want it to be soft and spreadable, or for firmer butter transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. To make a butter log, turn the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a rectangle. Wrap the butter with the parchment paper, pressing it into a cylinder, and twist the ends.
Notes
- For larger batches, using an electric mixer to blend the butter and reduction is helpful.
- Butter can be served soft at room temperature or chilled for firmer texture.
- Shape into a butter log with parchment paper for an attractive presentation.
