Herbed Butter 4 Ways
Herbed butter is incredibly versatile, and don’t let anyone fool you that it’s difficult to make – easy peasy. Zero cooking skills required. Yet they look incredibly beautiful to serve. Guests can pick their favourite herb or flavouring, children can lavish herbed butter on their vegetables (so can adults) and watch them empty their plates as quick as a flash.
When readers ask me how to encourage their children to eat their veggies, I always reply with a healthy fat such as butter, cheese or mayo and olive oil on salads. Who wants dry vegetables or a dry salad? Not me and certainly not my kiddies. And to serve vegetables wth healthy fats, allows us absorb all those amazing fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
