Shallot Butter

Random, I know. But this can go on so many things so I wanted to share it. Also you can make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. You may drizzle it over steak, try mixing it with rice or serve it with lobster instead of regular drawn butter.

• 1.5 cups butter (you can use less, I did)
• 1 cup shallots, finely chopped (about 6oz)

Combine butter & shallots in a small saucepan.

Stir over low heat until the butter melts.

Season with salt & pepper.

That's it! Like I said, make it a day ahead and pop it in the fridge. When you're ready to use it, just stir over low heat until butter melts. You can also add basil or marjoram or any herb you like, re-chill it in the fridge and slice it up cold and add to finish a dish.
