Easy Basil Butter

Basil, basil everywhere!

It's one of the easiest herbs

to grow. I have it planted in

my garden and a few pots on

the porch & the kitchen windowsill! 

I trimmed some plants

the other day and made

some tasty basil butter.

Easy Basil Butter

1½ cups of lightly packed fresh basil

1    cup of salted butter

 ½  teaspoon of lemon juice

1    clove of garlic, minced (or less, to taste)

 ⅛  teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)

In a food processor, chop basil. 

Add remaining ingredients and 

process until smooth.

Keep refrigerated.

Use as you would any flavored butter.

Delicious!

I slathered it on Italian bread & baked it 

@375 for about 10 mins. Then sprinkled

it with grated Parmesan cheese.

then we used some on the steak & hot veggies too!

Enjoy!
