Quick Tip: Make Ahead Fresh Herbs & Butter

Fresh Herbs & Butter - Tipnut.comHere’s a tip for leftover fresh herbs: Make herb butter and freeze for use later.

Herbed butter is lovely on breads, pastas, potatoes, vegetables, you name it.

Directions:

  • Chop the herbs fine & mix well into butter (first let soften at room temperature).
  • Chill for a few hours then slice the butter into pats or shape into balls (melon baller works great!).
  • Wrap a few at a time in a foil packet, then freeze in ziploc freezer bags.

There’s no exact science for the measurements, experiment with the herb/butter ratio to find what you like best.

Herb Ideas: Chives, Parsley, Garlic, Dill, Rosemary, Tarragon, Basil, Sage, Celery Leaves

    I started using this in Germany, where it’s known as Krautterbutter. Delish on Steaks and even hamburgers!
