Method
 

FOR THE EXTERIOR OF THE CHILI LIME BUTTER
  1. Prepare a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat (I prefer parchment for this).
  2. You will be preparing the paper for rolling the butter in after you've made it.
  3. So you don't want the fresh ingredients to be longer than a 1/2 stick of butter (keep that in mind when you are placing your fresh herbs on the parchment.
  4. Place the 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley on the parchment.
  5. Then add a teaspoon of chives.
  6. Next, the ripped basil leaf.
  7. Follow that with a good zest of lime across all the scatter.
  8. Set this aside.
FOR THE CHILI LIME BUTTER
  1. In a mixing bowl, place softened butter.
  2. Next, add in a chopped marigold and a snapdragon (chopped).*
  3. Follow with a teaspoon of chopped chive. (reserve a teaspoon)
  4. Add in your Lime Chili Seasoning.
  5. Then a quick 'once-over' with a zest of lime, not much, just a one-time down the grater.
  6. Now add in one tablespoon of chopped parsley.
  7. Smash the butter with your fork.
  8. Incorporate all the ingredients, scrape down the sides of the bowl as well.
  9. Once you have mixed everything together it's time to form your butter.
  10. Bring the parchment paper into your workspace.
  11. Remove the butter from the bowl.
  12. You will want to work with the butter to form a semi-log like it might be purchased in.
  13. Then, once formed, roll the butter into the fresh herb mixture making sure to coat it all.
  14. Now, it's time to refrigerate and store your butter, until you are ready to use it.

Notes

*Edible flowers are optional, I love them for the color, but they won't change your recipe if you cant find them.

HOT TIP **

I used an herb container as I was making a lot of butter that day. If you have a container like this you can reuse it as it makes a perfect size and seals for this butter.
However, if you don't a container use a zippered bag (freezer-style only others allow other odors to permeate through the plastic).
Reference my post for a different type of air-tight container.
