Chipotle Compound Butter

My Carolina Kitchen

1 stick best quality unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro

Zest and juice of 1 small lime

½ teaspoon sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a spatula until well mixed. Turn mixture out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form a log about 4 inches long. Wrap closely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a least 1 hour or until firm. Slice into ½ inch discs when ready to use. Can be wrapped and frozen for several months. Great on any grilled meat, especially pork
