Avocado-Herb Compound Butter

Makes 2 cups / Prep time: 25 minutes, plus 4 hours chilling time

Avocado shows up a fair bit in keto recipes because it is a spectacular source of monounsaturated fats, oleic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids. 

This high-fat profile makes reaching your keto macros easier and can increase absorption of beta carotene in other ingredients by as much as 400 percent. 

Avocado is also high in fiber and lutein.

INGREDIENTS :-

¼ cup butter, at room temperature

1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into quarters

Juice of ½ lemon

2 teaspoons chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

RECIPE :-

1. Place the butter, avocado, lemon juice, cilantro, basil, and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.

2. Season the butter with salt and pepper.

3. Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a log.

4. Place the parchment butter log in the refrigerator until it is firm, about 4 hours.

5. Serve slices of this butter with fish or chicken.

6. Store unused butter wrapped tightly in the freezer for up to 1 week.

PREP TIP :-

The best avocados for this butter are ripe, soft fruit. 

Place unripe avocados in a paper bag for a few days with an apple or banana to speed up the ripening process.
