Chili-Lime Garlic Butter


I threw together this weird-looking but delicious spread one afternoon when I wanted to make a slightly spicy complement for a crusty roll of ciabatta that we brought home. Don't let its looks deceive you - my family polished off an entire loaf of bread with this right away! The recipe is really quick, so I didn't take process pictures. It has a bit of a kick, so make sure to add as much chili powder as you think you'll need. I actually added a bit more than the recipe calls for, but mine was pretty spicy. It tastes great spread on slices of baguette toasted with a little Parmesan cheese, or on fresh bread right away. Enjoy!


Here's the recipe:

  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup of washed, chopped coriander
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 3/4 tsp. of red chili powder (or to taste)
  • 4 oz. salted butter, softened to room temperature
1. Combine garlic, coriander, lime juice, and chili powder in a food processor and combine.
2. Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the softened butter, and mix thoroughly with a fork until there are no lumps of butter left. Serve with crusty bread, such as a baguette or roll of ciabatta. Enjoy!
