Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 stick; at room temperature
- 8 garlic scapes finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp white pepper finely ground
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse and trim your garlic scapes, removing the thin tips.
- Combine the butter, pepper, lemon juice, and finely chopped garlic scapes in a medium bowl, using a fork to mash the butter until it’s homogeneous.
- Lay a 12" x 12" piece of parchment paper on the work surface.
- Transfer the butter to the lower part of the parchment paper, shape it as close to a log shape as possible, then carefully roll the butter up in the paper to form a log. Twist the ends to tighten the log.
- Refrigerate until hardened before using, or wrap tightly in foil, place in a zipper-lock freezer bag, and freeze for up to 6-12 months.
- To serve, slice off as much frozen butter as you need and let it soften at room temperature for 30 minutes.
