Remove the butter and herbs from the refrigerator two to three hours before preparation. Place the diced butter, herbs, and tomato paste into a tall, slim mixing bowl, add the garlic, and mix with a hand mixer (dough hook) until a smooth mixture forms. Now gradually add the oil, paprika paste, and lemon juice, ensuring the mixture remains firm. Season with salt and pepper. Variations: – Add two rinsed and finely chopped anchovy fillets and a few capers instead of the salt. – Instead of the frozen herbs, finely chop the fresh leaves of three thyme sprigs, 6-7 sage leaves, a handful of basil leaves, and a small onion, then proceed as per the original recipe.
