Healthy Olive Oil Butter with Provençal Herbs

Ingredients

• 1 cup Extra-virgin olive oil (Use a good-quality oil.)
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme (Finely chopped; approximate amount, described as “a little bit.”)
• 1 tsp Fresh rosemary (Finely chopped; approximate amount, described as “a little.”)
• 1 tsp Flaky salt (The amount mentioned in the audio is approximate; adjust to taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop the fresh thyme and rosemary. Have a clean, dry, freezer-safe jar with an airtight lid ready.

2. 2

   Pour the olive oil into the jar. Leave enough room to close it without spilling and to allow the mixture to expand slightly as it freezes.

3. 3

   Add the chopped thyme to the jar.

4. 4

   Add the chopped rosemary and flaky salt.

5. 5

   Seal the jar tightly and shake it carefully until the herbs and salt are evenly distributed throughout the oil.

6. 6

   Place the jar in the freezer for a couple of hours, approximately 2 hours, until the oil solidifies and acquires a firm, butter-like texture.

7. 7

   Remove the butter from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes if it is too hard. Spread it on toast and enjoy.

Notes

The audio does not specify the exact amount of oil or herbs; the listed quantities are practical estimates based on “a good oil,” “a little bit of thyme,” “a little rosemary,” and 1 tsp of flaky salt. Keep the mixture in the freezer and let it soften slightly before spreading if necessary.
