Compound butter is a great way to add flavor to many dishes...from grilled meats to corn on the cob.

RE: Ingredients for Compound Butter

The ingredients and combinations used to make compound butters are endless. While shallots are very common, if you do not have them, you can try adding a little onion. Same goes for the tarragon or chives. Basically, if you do not have certain ingredients simply substitute them for another. You might also want to try making a different kind of compound butter (based on the ingredients you have).

Also, here is a video on Making Compound Butter, that you may find helpful. Cheers!
