Garlic and Parsley Herb 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 1/2 times the amount called for."

Very good didn`t wait to chill served on bread with recipe #72119. If you do chose to use dried herbs use 1/3 of the fresh herbs called for in the recipe. For dried is much stronger unless they have been in your cupboard for years then toss them in the mulch bin. Thanks for the yummy butter. ;)
