Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb Butter Blend.
Step 1
Begin by finely grinding the dried oregano until it reaches a powdery consistency, then measure out three tablespoons.
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the ground oregano, allowing the flavors to mingle.
Step 3
Carefully add water to the mixture and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally every twenty minutes for about two hours to enhance the flavor infusion.
Step 4
After two hours, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 5
Prepare a bowl by wrapping cheesecloth around it and securing it with a rubber band.
Step 6
Strain the butter mixture through the cheesecloth into the bowl, discarding the oregano remnants.
Step 7
Once strained, remove the rubber band and gently squeeze the cheesecloth to extract any remaining butter, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator, allowing the butter to chill and solidify above the water for approximately four hours.
Step 9
Once solidified, use a knife to break the butter in half and transfer it to a plate, discarding the water.
Step 10
Enjoy the rich, aromatic butter that adds a delightful touch to your culinary creations.
