Chili Garlic Lime Compound Butter from Platters and Boards

Submitted by Food.com

"Reprinted from Platters and Boards by Shelly Westerhausen and Wyatt Worcel with permission by Chronicle Books, 2018. Compound butter is just a fancy way to refer to flavored butters. These can be served soft, right out of the food processor, in a small dish, or rolled in parchment paper and firmed up in the refrigerator before being served by the slice. These butters have a great texture and color that will add depth to any presentation. They go great on fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread slices."
