Puree Ingredients:
Start by pureeing all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. The butter, chipotle chiles, and adobo sauce come together to create a smoky, spicy blend that will elevate any dish. -
Shape and Chill:
Place the butter mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap, ensuring it’s covered entirely. Then, roll the butter up, forming it into a long log shape. This step helps in portioning and storing the butter conveniently. Once rolled, place it in the refrigerator or freezer until it’s firm and ready to use. -
Slice and Serve:
Once the chipotle butter is chilled and firm, it’s time to enjoy! Serve the rolled-up log as is or cut off slices as needed. Each slice is packed with flavor, ready to enhance your favorite dishes.
Serving Suggestions:
Chipotle butter goes great on grilled chicken and corn on the cob. The spicy kick adds depth and richness to these classic dishes. Additionally, consider using it to flavor roasted vegetables, spread it on warm bread, or melt it over steamed seafood for a burst of southwestern-inspired flavor.
Storage Tips:
To preserve the chipotle butter’s freshness and flavor, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer-term storage, wrap the butter log tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will keep well in the freezer for 3 to 6 months. Just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using.
