The preparation

5 steps, about 10 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Let butter soften slightly so it folds easily.

  2. 02

    Add herbs and lemon zest. Fold together gently.

  3. 03

    Taste and season with flaky salt.

  4. 04

    Lay on parchment paper. Shape into a log. Roll parchment around it and twist the ends.

  5. 05

    Refrigerate until firm, or use immediately.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Rosemary is assertive, so start with less than you think and taste as you go. The lemon zest is what lifts the whole butter and keeps it from feeling heavy.”
