JJ’s Tip : Use avocado oil when pan frying because it has a higher smoke point than most other cooking oils.
Chipotle Compound Butter
Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
- 5 cloves garlic, whole
- 2 chipotles in adobo with extra sauce
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- Salt (to taste)
- Parchment paper
- In a food processor add butter, garlic, chipotle in adobo, lime zest and juice, and salt.
- Puree until the mixture comes together (There should be some bits of chipotle visible in the butter).
-
Using a spatula, remove the butter onto sheets of parchment paper and spread out slightly in the middle. Fold the paper over onto the butter once and then fold over a second time. Roll the butter in the paper until it forms a 2 inch log.
