This was one of the menu items for my husband's SPECIAL APPRECIATION DINNER ON SUNDAY.
I WANTED THE ENTIRE MEAL TO BE special for all that he does, & started with this butter.

It is quick & easy & quite simple, but has lots of flavor. Then I dressed it up on a little red plate & garnished it with an assorted colors of sweet mini peppers on a bed of kale.

The minced garlic adds lots of flavor & infuses the butter. I served it with SISTER SCHUBERT'S DINNER ROLLS, the only thing on the menu that I did not make from scratch, but they're good on their own just as they are.

How to Make GARLIC CRACKED PEPPER & CHIVE BUTTER

Step-by-Step

Mince garlic into a small bowl, add softened butter, chopped chive & cracked pepper. Stir to blend together and either shap into a log or store in a small container, and garnish top with snipped chive. Serve at room temperature when ready to serve.
SPECIAL NOTES: Can chill & roll into a log and add a pat or two to steaks or serve at room temperature on hot bread or rolls. Make early to allow flavors to blend and marry.
