Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Fork or spatula
  • 1 food processor (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 227g unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup 75g sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons 30ml olive oil (from the sun-dried tomatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon 5g garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2g salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon 1g black pepper (freshly ground, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon 15g fresh basil (finely chopped, optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Using a fork or spatula, mix until well-blended and creamy. If desired, use a food processor for a smoother texture.
  • Transfer the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

This Sun-Dried Tomato Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing it in small portions. To reap the full benefits of its flavor, allow the butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Variations: Incorporate herbs like basil or oregano to give the butter an extra flavor dimension. You can also substitute sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a different taste.
Tips: Ensure that your butter is at room temperature for easy blending with the sun-dried tomatoes. Using a food processor can help achieve a smooth consistency.
