    Compound butter is a butter that has been seasoned and flavored with a variety of herbs and spices. To make a compound butter, the chosen herbs and spices are minced then folded into room temperature butter until evenly distributed.

    For this garlic herb compound butter recipe I used my mortar and pestle to turn the garlic into a paste. You can also use a food processor or a sharp knife to finely mince to garlic and herbs.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
