Instructions

• Put 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, ½ teaspoon ground fennel and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro into a food processor.
• Pulse in short bursts until the garlic and cilantro are finely minced and the spices are evenly distributed, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
• Cut ½ cup salted butter into chunks and add them to the food processor.
• Pulse in short bursts, scraping down the sides as needed, until the butter and spice mixture are well combined and smooth.
• Lay a large sheet of cling film on the work surface. Spoon the butter mixture onto the long edge of the cling film in a rough log occupying the center third of the film.
• Roll the cling film tightly around the butter to form a compact log, twist or tie the ends to seal, and refrigerate the wrapped log until firm.
