Herbal Butter
Herbal Butter Recipes
Herbal butters lend a variety of flavorful additions to your culinary endeavors. Use them to spice up meat, fish and vegetable dishes, add savory flavor to breads, or to season pasta, rice or couscous. The possible combinations are only limited to your imagination! You can even freeze the butter in ice cube trays or molds for later use or to make a pretty presentation. Frozen butter is also sometimes easier to work with when making certain dishes like Chicken Kiev, which calls for herbed butter in the center of rolled chicken breast.
The only “rule” when it comes to making herbal butters is to start out with unsalted butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Also, you can use fresh herbs if you wish. But if you use dried, let the butter rest in the refrigerator for an hour or so before to “marry” the flavors.
