Ingredients:
4 tablespoon(s) (1/2 stick) salted butter, room temperature |
2 stalk(s) asparagus, bottoms trimmed |
sprig(s) of fresh thyme leaves |
Directions:
1. Fill a medium bowl with water and ice. Set aside.
2. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 1 minute. Transfer the asparagus to the ice water to chill. When the asparagus is cooled, pat dry with paper towels and cut into 1/2-inch chunks.
3. In a small bowl, combine the asparagus, butter and thyme. Mash gently with a fork until thoroughly mixed. Transfer to a serving container and chill until firm. Alternatively, transfer the blended butter to a sheet of plastic wrap, cover, then form the butter into a log and chill.
4. Once the butter is firm, it can be cut into pats.
