"This recipe was found on a bunch of fresh cilantro. It would be ideal used on vegetables, such as corn; pasta, potatoes or rice, etc. I prefer this best with corn on the cob!"

Very good! This butter, once softened a bit, spread well on fresh baked bread. Good flavor while not being overwhelming, the blend of flavors was perfect. Thanks for a good recipe!
