Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3–4 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated

2–3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

1 teaspoon lemon juice or zest (optional, for brightness)

 

Instructions:

1. Soften the butter: Let the butter sit at room temperature until soft but not melted.

2. Combine ingredients: In a bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice or zest if using.

3. Blend well: Use a fork or a mixer to combine everything until smooth and evenly mixed.

4. Shape or store:

Scoop onto plastic wrap, roll into a log, and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.

Or just store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week (or freeze up to 3 months).
