The Oregano needed pruning!
After snipping about half the height from the
plant...
..I added most to the dehydrator.
(The parsley wanted to go to seed
so it was trimmed, also, and shared
half of the racks in the dehydrator.)
The aroma was so fragrant
it made me hungry for a tasty
treat of a lightly toasted roll
with herb butter.
To make my Oregano, Garlic and
Parmesan butter I first
stripped the leaves from the stem by grasping
the top with the fingers of one hand
and pulling down the stem with the fingers
of the other hand.
(the stems go to the compost)
Chop leaves fine ~
about 3 Tablespoons
Add to 1/4 cup softened butter
Add a heaping Tablespoon of minced garlic
(I usually use fresh, but didn't have any so
used this garlic in a jar.)
Add 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Mix up with a spoon and place in a pretty little
crock or bowl.
I spread a roll with the butter and
toasted lightly!
Mmmm! Delish!
You can use a variety of herbs
such as Rosemary, Parsley, Thyme, Marjoram,
Basil, and Sage
or any combination of the above.
Be creative ~ add Garlic, lemon, pepper,cheese.
It can be used on meats, fish, chicken and vegetables.
It's perfect for grilling ~
add a pat and let it melt it's herbal
goodness right down into what ever you are cooking.
Tastes so good!
Freezes well and keeps for about 3 months.
Fill up a pretty jar and
present it to your host at that next
Bar~B~Q!

great idea!!!
I love herb butter, why is it I never remember to make it.
Thanks for the inspiration - it looks delish!
Yum!! I have some basil and some rosemary that I think I will use for this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
My biggest problem with making herbed butters is I always forget to soften the butter ahead of time! However, that's not much of a good excuse, and this looks wonderful--you've inspired me to make some soon!
Dear Lady Farmer,
Mmm, my mouth is watering, and I'm not even hungry! I don't even have oregano this year; how could I have let that one slip? I'll have to give it a whirl with thyme or basil, or mint!
Love,

Just so happens that I have some fresh corn on the cob hubby brought home. Planned on grilling it for dinner. Wouldn't this butter be tasty? I think I am going to make some. I have plenty of herbs. I have a dehydrater, but seldom use it. I really should start drying my herbs. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
