CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Category: Miscellaneous

1 stick butter, softened
1-2 canned chipotle peppers, minced (seeded if desired)
2 tbsp of the chipotle sauce that comes with the peppers
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Pinch garlic powder

In a small bowl whip the butter, with an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy. Add the minced peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Whip until incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill. (The longer it sits, the deeper the color and richer the flavor.)

Just before serving put a tsp of the cold butter on cooked steak or burgers and allow it to melt over the top. For bread, leave softened for easier spreading. Makes 24 servings.

NOTE: I use this on everything. (Fish, steak, burger, grill or broil crusty bread, popcorn or corn on the cob and other vegetables.) (Adjust the heat by adding or taking away some of the pepper.)
