Spicy Cajun Butter

Submitted by Nyteglori

"Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1/3- 1/2 times the amount called for."

this is a lovely condiment for veggies, i served it with a saute of mushrooms, onions and zucchini. i used both fresh sage and a home grown jalapeno. if you use dried herbs you should decrease the amount to 1/3. i think this would kick up popcorn and will try that with the leftovers. would also be good with an omelet.
