Pesto Butter is a classic compound butter but you can replace the basil pesto with kkaenip pesto for an exotic Korean-style spin. You can easily cut this recipe in half and still maintain the same flavor and quality.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Gkaenip (Sesame Leaf) Pesto
1 cup unsalted Butter*, room temperature
pinch of SaltPut the pesto into the mixing bowl and slowly add the butter, about a tablespoon at a time. Mix well with a wooden spoon before adding the next tablespoon of butter. Once it’s all blended well, add salt to taste and serve at room temperature.
*If you use salted butter, don’t add more salt to the mix. Excessive salt is an assault on your taste buds.
I’m growing Gkaenip (Sesame Leaf) in my garden. Ready for picking now. How do I make them into pesto? Grind?
