Calabrian Chile Butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (10-ounce) jar oil-packed Calabrian chiles, drained, seeds removed
- 3/4 cup chopped garlic (about 1 head)
- 3/4 cup chopped shallots (about 2)
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 scallions, dark green parts only, chopped

- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons chopped oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-low. Cook chiles, garlic, and shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft but without taking on color, 10-12 minutes; let cool completely.
- Transfer chile mixture to a blender, add butter, and blend to combine. Add scallions, cilantro, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, mustard, paprika, and 2 Tbsp. salt. Pulse to combine. Taste and add more salt if needed.
