Author: Renee Shelton
Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter soft
  • 1/4 cup fresh fennel leaves minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallots
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Recipe Notes

This butter freezes well: simply wrap up in an airtight zipper bag.
