Ok, Kristin Vanni again for Expert Village with tip number two for going Green in the kitchen. Now this recipe that I just made, I used some basil and a little bit of thyme. But look! I got a whole bunch left over. Obviously, if we are going Green we can't just throw it away. So, I like to come up with a sort of a fun idea of what to do with this leftover stuff. 'Cause, you know, we leave it in the refrigerator it's going to turn brown real fast. So, what you can do, you can, it could be basil, it could be thyme, it could be rosemary. Whatever you have that is leftover. Chop it all up. Mix it in with a little bit of softened butter to make a compound butter. Then you can throw it in the freezer. And then, whenever you are making a steak, or some fish, chicken, whatever. Slice off a little piece. You've got a fancy, smancy gourmet compound butter to go on your dinner. Quick and easy; and it's all made from leftovers.
