Chipotle Butter

recipe courtsey of bobby flay

i had this on my steak last night and wow was it good. it'd also be good on any number of things of course all i can come with at the moment is a spoon...it is that good.

8 tablespoons (1 stick) of unsalted butter
1 canned chipotle, stemmed
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
salt and freshly ground pepper

in a food processor, combine the butter, chipolte, garlic, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. process until completely mixed. spread the butter in a cylinder shape about 1 inch in diameter along the long side of a sheet of parchment or wax paper (don't tell bobby i used plastic wrap.), leaving a 1-inch border. roll up the butter in the paper to form a log. refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. May be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen.
makes 1 cup.
