Ingredients

• 3 ounces Spanish chorizo, finely chopped
• 1 stick of butter, softened
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
• Salt

Instructions

1. Put the softened butter in a bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, cook the chorizo over moderate heat until the fat just starts to render, about 2 minutes. Scrape the chorizo and fat into the butter. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley and use a fork to mix together well. Season with salt, if desired, and serve.
3. The chorizo-lemon butter can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
