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
Instructions:
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.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter, saffron water, black pepper and salt. Mix together until well combined.
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.
Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once the butter is firm, you can slice it into rounds or use a butter knife to spread it on bread, meat or fish.
This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
