Chipotle Butter

CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-2 canned chipotle peppers, diced (seeds removed, if desired)
2 Tbsp sauce that comes with the peppers
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tbsp chopped, fresh cilantro
Dash garlic powder

Directions
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 teaspoon 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.
