How to make Herb butter

1) In a large bowl mix the butter and the other ingredients with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.

2) Lay about a foot long section of cling film on a work surface. Put the herb butter on the bottom center of the cling film, and form into a mound about 20-cm long.

3) Fold the bottom edge of the cling film over the butter and roll the enclosed butter forward until completely wrapped, to form a tube of butter about 4-cm in diameter. Twist the ends together like a party favour.

4) Refrigerate until firm or freeze for up to 1 month. Sliced as needed for corn on the cob, grilled steaks, or Chicken Kiev.
