This savory manchego and black olive compound butter is part of our collection of Keto flavored butters 6 different ways. Salty black olives, tangy manchego cheese, and smoky paprika are blended with unsalted butter to create a flavorsome topping/dressing for your favorite low carb meals. This is a great way to add extra fats and flavor to your Keto dinners and lunches. Perfect with grilled chicken or over roasted low carb Mediterranean vegetables.
Leave the butter to come to room temperature so that it is soft and easy to mash. Add to a mixing bowl and mash lightly with a fork. Finely chop the olives. Add the olives to the mixing bowl along with the paprika and grated manchego cheese.
Use a fork to mash the butter, olives, cheese, and paprika together. Be sure to distribute the flavorings evenly throughout the butter. Taste and add salt or extra seasonings if desired.
Scoop the butter out from the bowl and onto a square of plastic wrap or baking paper. Use your hands to roughly mold the butter into a log shape. Wrap the edges of the plastic wrap/paper up tightly around the butter, securing the ends. Transfer to the fridge to set and firm for a minimum of two hours. Slice and serve as desired.
