Avocado Compound Butter

I love Avocados and don't have a problem enjoying them every day.
And while I could eat guacamole forever, my favorite application is actually avocado butter.  It’s a compound butter that makes a fabulous finish for grilled meats, fish and especially corn on the cob.

Although it sounds complex and even has the word compound in its name it's quite a simple process.

It is also a healthy alternative in a lot of usable  ways.

Avocado Compound Butter

Ingredients:
6 oz ripe avocado meat, about 2 small
1 Tbs lemon juice, freshly squeezed
4 Tbs unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbs fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tsp cumin, toasted and ground
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:
Peel and pit the avocados. Situate all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined.
Spoon the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape into a log.
Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Slice and serve with grilled fish, chicken or corn on the cob.
Store for up to three days in the refrigerator or a week in the freezer.
