Citrus Butter

This butter adds a nice citrus tang to roast duck or baked chicken.  It it is also very good on broiled or char-grilled fish.  This easy compound butter is one I fix often.  You could substitute lime zest for the orange zest for a nice variation on this recipe.  This is suitable for Induction.  If you are interested, the dinner roll recipe is here, but I left out the rosemary in the above pictured version: https://buttoni.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/rosemary-onion-dinner-rolls/

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick butter (I use unsalted) (4 oz)

1 T. lemon zest

1 T. orange zest (or lime zest)

1 large clove garlic, minced

2-2 T. parsley, chopped

1/16-1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Dash salt

DIRECTIONS:  Soften butter in a bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and let sit for about an hour so that flavors can blend.  Stir occasionally.  Dab onto roast duck, chicken or fish right before serving.
