Truffle Butter

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• ¼ teaspoon truffle oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 4-5 crimini mushrooms, sliced
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Plastic wrap

Procedure

1. Heat a medium skillet on medium high heat.
2. Add enough oil to the pan to just coat the bottom. When hot, add the mushrooms.
3. Sauté until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook until softened.
4. Remove from the heat and spoon mushrooms and shallots onto a paper towel.
5. Meanwhile, put the butter, herbs and oil into a medium bowl.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper
7. Finely chop the mushrooms and add to the butter. Mix well with a spatula.
8. Roll out a sheet of plastic wrap. Spoon butter onto the middle of the wrap. Fold over sides and begin to roll up the butter, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.
9. Continue to roll the butter, squeezing in the sides and forming the butter into a log shape. Make sure to remove all air bubbles from the middle of the butter.
10. Freeze or chill in the refrigerator. When ready to use, slice and remove plastic wrap. Allow butter to melt and enjoy!
