1 tablespoon drained and finely chopped capers

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, herbs, capers, salt, and pepper. Zest in half of one of the lemons and squeeze in 2 teaspoon juice. Stir to combine, then transfer to a piece of plastic wrap. Form the butter into a log and wrap tightly. Chill for at least 2 hours.
