Notes
I chilled my Tomato Butter in a bowl since I was using it in recipes as is.
You can also place your tomato butter on plastic wrap and roll into a log. Chill until ready to serve, then slice.
I used the fancy tomato paste from Italy that comes in a tube. Regular canned paste will work as well. Just remember, it is the star in this recipe.
