Butter with Basil
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. This butter is very easy to make, and you can use it in many ways. For example, you can spread it on a sandwich with smoked fish or serve it with hot boiled potatoes. You can use it to flavor any sauces or side dishes, or spread it on the surface of meat. Use good-quality butter; otherwise, it may develop an unpleasant odor during storage. Store it in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly so the aroma does not escape. For long-term storage, it is better to keep it in the freezer. Serve with herbs and sauce.
