with dried tomatoes

Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in lukewarm water in a small bowl and let them stand for about 10 minutes. Then remove them, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and cut them into tiny pieces. Pluck the basil leaves from the stems and chop them finely. Peel the garlic clove and press it through a garlic press. Place the softened butter in a small, tall mixing bowl, add the garlic clove, basil, and diced tomatoes, and mix well with the dough hook of a hand mixer. Season the butter with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, and mix again. Place the finished butter mixture in a piece of plastic wrap, roll it up, and tie the ends. Wrap this roll in aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator. It’s also great for making ahead and freezes well. The butter tastes delicious with grilled fish.
