Olive And Thyme Compound Butter Recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon pine nuts 

1 small garlic clove 

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pitted Kalamata olives 

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened, cut into small pieces 

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pine nuts on a baking sheet in oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.

Pulse pine nuts, garlic, olives, and thyme in a food processor until just combined, about 5 seconds. Add butter and salt. Pulse until well blended.

Transfer butter mixture to parchment paper; shape into a log. Roll in parchment to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Twist ends to close. Refrigerate until firm, up to 1 week.
