I made this compound butter yesterday, and kept it in the fridge over night. The flavor got VERY strong. I'm not sure of the 'type' of pepper that I used (I just know that it was red, about 2" long and skinny). I used the bottom 1/3 portion of it (which I had seeded, about a teaspoon, diced). WOW! I used this butter this evening to make a small plate of home-made fried potatoes (I was just wanting a small bite of something). This was very tasty, but a bit to strong of heat for me (and I like hot stuff). I'm trying to figure out another use for this. Maybe I will add it to a stir-fry of some sort... that sounds good. When I figure out what is next, I will let you know. Thanks for posting a creative compound butter idea. (Made for PRMR). -
So good on crackers and also to saute veggies in. I actually used a baby bell pepper like the ones you buy in a bag that are different colors. Loved the garlic flavor! Thanks Annacia!
