Garlic & Parsley Butter

You can buy this kind of herb butter at the grocery store, but it's really easy to make your own.

Use it for mashed potatoes, or add it to other vegetables. We like to slice it and put it on top of a steak while it's resting after it's barbecued. It adds a lot of flavor to the meat.

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup of butter (unsalted)
3 cloves of garlic, minced or put through a press
2 TBS finely chopped fresh parsley
1 TBS finely chopped fresh chives
Salt & Pepper

Directions: 

Soften the butter to room temperature. Mix in the garlic and herbs.
Put the mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, and shape into a log. Refrigerate.
Slice as needed.

Adjust the garlic and herbs to your liking. Add other things like finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes or grated lemon rind to use with fish.
