4 servings

30 minutes

Green butter with parsley and garlic, known in French cuisine as beurre maitre d'hotel, is a fragrant and versatile addition that adds elegance and richness to dishes. Historically used to garnish steaks, fish, and vegetables, it imparts a fresh herbal aroma and a hint of garlic's spiciness. The butter whipped with parsley, shallots, and spices has a smooth texture and an exquisite balance of flavors – creamy tenderness intertwines with green freshness and spiciness. This butter can be applied to hot dishes, allowing it to melt slowly and fill them with a rich bouquet of aromas. It is perfect for gourmets looking to add French sophistication to everyday recipes.
