Garlic and Herb Butter


Yield: 1/2 pound of flavored butter
Prep Time: 10 minutes
What a nice compliment to almost any dish. Serve it on steak, chicken, fish, potatoes, rice or bread. Would also make a very nice homemade gift to give to someone.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 – 2 tsp parsley
1 – 2 tsp chives
1 – 2 tsp basil
*herbs can be fresh or dried

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together until well blended either by hand or with a mixer.
2. On a piece of wax paper, put the butter mixture in the middle.
3. Fold the wax paper over and gently mold into a log or rectangle.
4. When you have your desired shape, fold the wax paper around the butter and refrigerate for about 1 hour to let the butter set again.
Store in an airtight container so the aroma of the herbs don’t affect the food around it.
Use on breads, potatoes or meats of your choice.
