Butter with garlic and herbs can be used in different ways: for meat and fish dishes, for gravy and sauces, for side dishes and even salads. Vegetables stewed with this butter are incredibly tasty and fragrant. Greens for butter choose at your discretion - for example, dill, parsley, basil. Garlic will make the oil more piquant. You can also add optional spices. It is convenient to freeze the oil in the form of “sausage” and cut the required amount each time. You can also freeze the oil in ice cream freezing tins.
