Wasabi & Ginger Compound Butter

Compound butter aka flavored butter is such an easy way to add flavor to grilled meats, vegetables, or keto bread. It's the perfect condiment to use when you follow a healthy keto diet.

This wasabi ginger compound butter is made with 100% powdered Japanese horseradish, no artificial alternatives. This savory fat bomb goes especially well with grilled steaks with grilled green onions. It's also a great way to boost your cauli-rice with healthy fats and flavor without the extra carbs!

Here’s a pro tip on storing if you can’t use the entire log in a timely fashion. Scoop the softened butter into a silicone ice cube tray then freeze until solid. Once frozen simply pop them out and store in a freezer safe container.

Or instead of just one, make 2-3 small butter logs and freeze. When you need a bit of butter just let it thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes or so before using.

Tip: Flavored butter makes a delicious and unique gift! Simply wrap it in parchment paper, twist the ends, attach a ribbon and a gift tag.

Step-by-step

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender.

   

2. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can mix everything in a bowl using a fork - it will just take a little longer to combine. Then transfer the butter to a piece of parchment paper.

   

3. Roll the butter into a log then chill until set, or use immediately.

   

4. Store for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, 6 months in the freezer.
