Yuzu Kosho Butter

Yuzu kosho is a pasty Japanese condiment made from fresh chiles (most often green or red Thai or bird's eye chiles) which is then fermented with salt along with zest and juice from yuzu, a tart and fragrant citrus fruit that grows in East Asia. When blended into butter it delivers a bright, aromatic bite to grilled vegetables, scallops, chicken, and pork.
