Melt dollops of butter infused with chile and lime over hot grilled veggies. This compound butter is a wake-up call to the senses: lime leaves lend a bright and floral citrus-y accent to the slow-burning sharpness of the pepper.
Ingredient:
- 1 alligator pepper pod or 1 tablespoon grains of paradise
- 2 tablespoons chopped lime segments (from 1 lime)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (8 ounces), at room temperature
- 2 Makrut lime leaves, cut into thin strips
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (from 1 large shallot)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
