Compound Butter- A Delicious Way to Protect Your Brain

This entry was tagged Brain Health compound butter and posted on

It is time to talk about something delicious that I have just learned of recently:

‘Compound Butter’

Simply it is taking butter and herbs and mixing them together, but is really a lot more than that. Compound butter takes all of the fantastic fat soluble vitamins that feed your brain and then all of the amazing antioxidants and anti-inflammatories of the herbs that you pick and combines them together. This is just an amazing way to keep that brain healthy and you don’t have to worry about getting out 5-10 herbs and spices every time you want to make something. Just throw in a generous dollop of your compound butter and enjoy

The How-To of Compound Butter:

½ pound grass-fed, Organic butter at room temp

All the herbs and spices you want, but here are some of my favorites:

  • Garlic
  • Rosemary
  • Tarragon
  • Basil
  • Sage
  • Parsley
  • Chives

-Chop up any and everything you want (make sure the garlic is very fine, unless you want a big punch at once).

-Mix in a bowl to combine ingredients well

-Now you have two options

  1. Place onto parchment paper and make into roll/stick
    • Now you can just cut off a section as needed
  2. Turn a butter dish lid upside down and fill that in
    • I like this. Easy to just dip out of and put a dollop on

-Place in fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight

Now you are ready to serve up a great dish. You can just put it right in the pan and use it as your cooking butter, or use it as a topping. Throw it on some veggies, eggs, burger or chicken and let it melt.

This really is an excellent way to get to get all of those great fat soluble vitamins as well as an amazing flavor from the herbs all in one place. There is no need to chop up herbs each time you want them, just take out of the fridge and you’re ready to go. This means that there is time as long as you put in a few minutes one time, it will grab and go for a few weeks.
