Homemade Dill Butter Food

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• Prick 4 sweet potatoes with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F until soft, 60 to 75 minutes. Mix 6 tablespoons softened butter, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, 1 small sliced scallion and 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Cut open the potatoes and top with the dill butter.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH LEMON DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill. If using charcoal, make sure you have a full layer of hot coals on the grate.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Place the oysters (oyster-side up!) on a platter. With two small spoons, place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the herbed butter on each oyster. Place lightly crinkled sheets of aluminum foil loosely on the grill grates. Place the oysters on the foil, making sure they're level so the butter doesn't spill out. (The foil keeps the oyster shells from tipping over.) Cover the grill with the lid, making sure the vents are open, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter comes to a simmer and the oysters are just heated through. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve hot.

PIEROGI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND DILL

Steps:

• Cook one 16-ounce package frozen pierogi as the label directs. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until it starts browning, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the pierogi, 2 tablespoons chopped dill and 1 teaspoon each lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the pierogi brown slightly, about 1 more minute.

DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• Blanch the dill, then immerse it in cold water. Put the dill in a sieve and puree it with the butter. Add the broth or water. Heat the mixture until the butter melts, then add salt and pepper to taste.

HOMEMADE DILL BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Make sure your cream is at room temperature, or it will take much longer.
• Place cream either in a tight fitting lidded jar or the food processor.
• Jar method: start shaking the jar up and down. After 3 minutes it will start to feel like shaking whipped cream, keep going another 3 minutes where it will seem like nothing is happening, but it is.suddenly it goes "shuk shuk" and that is the butter separating from the buttermilk. Continue to shake for another 4 minutes until most of the buttermilk is liquified.
• Food Processor: Place the cream in and turn it on until the butter separates from the buttermilk as above.
• Pour off the buttermilk through cheese cloth, either covering the top of the jar or the food processor (dont forget to keep the buttermilk for pancakes lol).
• Fill the jar or bowl with VERY cold tap water - dont want it to melt at all and continue to rinse it through cheesecloth until it runs clear. 7-10 times. Helps ensure it stays fresh longer.
• Put your butter on a cutting board, and work it with a spatula to get all the last liquid inside it out, just squish it with the spatula a few times.
• Add salt if you want salted butter.
• Voila~ your own homemade butter.
