My super Target has flavored herb butters for sale, but they’re quite expensive. Her butters are so easy to make at home, there’s no need to pay through the nose for them. They complement and dress up so many different dishes. With herb butters, you can transform an ordinary dish into a spectacular one.

Flavored Herb Butter

1 stick of butter, softened to room temperature

1 tbsp of lemon juice

1 tbsp of mined parsley

1 clove of refrigerated garlic, finely minced

Beat the butter with an electric mixer until it is fluffy. Then add the lemon juice, mined parsley and minced garlic. Beat well, until all the ingredients are blended. Shape into a stick of butter, and roll in wax paper.

For variety, add 1 tbsp. of fresh herbs to the butter, such as basil, rosemary or dill. Basil butter is delicious on grilled salmon. If you use dried herbs, only use 1 tsp. because dried herbs are more potent than fresh ones.

Herb butter is easy to freeze. Put the stick of wax paper wrapped butter into a freezer bag before freezing.
