1 tsp. each finely chopped fresh dill, chives, tarragon, thyme, basil, and oregano
1/2 tsp. fresh pressed or finely minced garlic, if desired
1 stick butter, softened
Blend herbs into softened butter. Then using parchment or waxed paper, roll the butter into a log and wrap to freeze. To use, pull log from freezer, slice, and top fish, steaks, potatoes, vegetables, etc.
Helpful Tip: Make this recipe your own. You can try adding rosemary, especially if you will be using the butter on meats. You can also leave some out or add more of some and less of others. Enjoy experimenting!
Though it is not nearly as good, you can substitute dried herbs for the fresh ones. Just use 1/2 tsp. of each herb instead. You can also whip the butter with an electric mixer and blend in the juice of a lemon. This is especially good if using on fish or chicken!
