I have fallen in love with compound butters over the last couple of years, growing my own herbs has helped foster that. I saw this recipe on the Food Network last night and it looked and sounded so good and Jes it is from one of your favorite persons on that network!. Can't wait to try it when I get back to the Main Land. This is a great way to add bursts of flavor in a small amount.

Avocado Compound Butter

approximately 8 ounces of butter
6 ounces ripe avocado meat, approximately 2 small avocados
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peel and pit the avocados. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined. Place mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape into a log. Place in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. Slice and serve with grilled fish or chicken.
