How to Make Saffron and Black Pepper Butter?

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

1. In a small saucepan, bring a small amount of water to a simmer. Add the saffron threads and let them steep for about 5 minutes.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter, saffron water, black pepper and salt. Mix together until well combined.
3. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface, and spoon the butter mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap. Roll the butter mixture into a log shape, twisting the ends of the plastic wrap to seal the butter.
4. Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
