known as cowboy butter or cowboy butterour recipe today is about a compound butter that is perfect for spreading on breads, accompanying grilled meat recipes or cooked in the oven, and that goes perfectly with other ingredients such as prawns, prawns and white fish.
The name comes from the fact that it is a traditional accompaniment to the cut cowboyan American cut of meat, which is similar to rib eyeequivalent to our top loin of veal or beefbut it works perfectly with other cuts or with meats as ours as Iberian pork.
At the next barbecue or carnivorous gathering, have this curious variation on herb butter prepared and you will see how it becomes the center of all eyes. You can also use it, in the style of café de Paris butter, to put it on freshly cooked meat, letting it melt on it.
Chop all the leaves and make a paste with the garlic cloves. We melt the butter to be able to mix all the ingredients in it and add everything, not all at once but little by little and go mixing with a whisk or a fork. When they are integrated, we continue adding other ingredients.
Squeeze the lemon and add the juice, stirring constantly. We taste and rectify salt and pepper, testing to see if this mixture is to our liking or we prefer to add a little more spiceherbs, etc.
When we have it, we can preserve cowboy butter (when it cools it will be solid) for a week or more in the fridge. To use it, we must heat it by leaving it at room temperature or putting it on a hot element.
