113 g (1 stick) infused butter, carrying the full 60 mg THC for the batch — this gets brownedPlain unsalted butter, softened — enough to bring the browned infused butter up to 227 g total (about 130–140 g / 9–10 Tbsp)2 tsp minced shallot1 tsp white wine vinegar½ tsp fine sea salt2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley2 Tbsp finely chopped dill2 Tbsp finely chopped tarragon2 Tbsp finely sliced chives
Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Stir the minced shallot with the vinegar and a big pinch of the salt in a small bowl and leave it to soften while you do everything else. This is your 60 mg batch — plan on 12 coins at 5 mg before you begin.
- Brown the infused butter in a small pale-bottomed pan over medium-low heat, swirling until the solids are amber and the smell turns nutty. Keep the pan under 175 °C / 350 °F and take it off early rather than late; scorched butter and lost potency arrive together.
- Scrape all of it, browned bits and all, into a mixing bowl. Cool to room temperature, then chill briefly until it's spoonable and opaque rather than liquid.
- Weigh the browned butter and add softened plain butter until you hit 227 g. Beat with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until smooth and one single colour throughout — streaks mean uneven coins.
- Add the marinated shallot with its vinegar, the rest of the salt, and all four herbs. Mix thoroughly so the green flecks reach every corner of the bowl.
- Spoon the butter onto parchment or plastic wrap in a rough line, roll it into a cylinder, and tighten it by dragging a bench scraper or ruler along the base of the roll. Twist the ends closed.
- Refrigerate until completely firm, at least 2–3 hours.
- Unwrap the cold log, measure its length with a ruler, and score 12 even marks. Cut cold, straight down, one coin at a time. Keeps in the fridge about 2 weeks; freeze whole coins on a lined tray if you want them to last longer.
- Melt one coin over roast salmon, grilled asparagus, soft-boiled potatoes, or a torn hunk of bread. One coin per person, then wait — the kitchen rule is start low, go slow.
- Label it: "Pickled Shallot & Green Herb Butter Log · 60 mg THC total · 5 mg per coin · 12 coins · made [date] · 21+ only." If any coins go into a freezer bag, write the same line on the bag.
