Herb Butter
Here is a simple herb butter which can be used to sauté your vegetables or your meats..
Butter 200 gms.
Fresh basil a small bunch- 8-10 leaves.
Fresh parsley double the bunch of basil 50 gms.
Salt 1/4 tsp (if the butter you have used is unsalted)
Chilly flakes 1tsp
Pepper powder as per your taste
Garlic 6-7 cloves.
Oregano 1/2 tsp
Method:
Crush the garlic real fine and fry them with a little bit of butter so that the flavour of garlic is really infused in the butter. Add the chilly flakes, pepper and salt. Now, take a large bowl, mash up the room temperature butter till it becomes really soft. Next, chop the basil and parsley real fine and mix it with the butter. Add in the butter infused garlic and all into bowl and mix well. Your very own herb butter is done.
Use this butter for basting your meats or grilling your vegetables or just apply a generous amount on toasted bread and sit back with hot cup of coffee.
You can make your own butter with any type of herb you like..u can replace the basil with cilantro. If you are consuming the butter immediately you can add chopped tomatoes and onions and top them on a toasted bread tortilla or nachos with cheese.
Add this butter when you next sauté your favourite vegetables..like broccoli, corn, peas and carrots and use them as a stuffing for a sandwich as I did..
And that gooey mouth watering warm melting brownie is worth a try.
