Easy Chive Blossom Compound Butter Recipe (video)

A really simple one this time! We got introduced to this idea after hubby shared a picture of our chives blooming. Someone told us that chive blossoms make an amazing compound butter, so we looked it up! Not only is the chive blossom compound butter delicious, but it's gorgeous too, with beautiful little flecks of bright purple and green throughout. The flavour is quite intensely chivey, and almost garlicky, so it is a great compound butter to use anywhere you'd use garlic butter, such as garlic toast or even as a steak topper.

We used a dash of vermouth and a bit of lemon juice for this recipe, but you can replace that with a few other things. Cognac would be just fine for this, or even a little bit of sherry or marsala. If you want to keep it alcohol free, a dab of elderflower cordial would probably be quite nice, though I would stay away from the truly floral aromas like rosewater or orange blossom water.
