Using the same (clarified) butter that I use to make all of my Cookies, I blended up this here Clarified Basil Butter by simply adding one whole basil leaf to a spoonful of clarified butter and mixing the both up. Similar to the Magic Sauce that I posted a while back as well as the Strawberry Cilantro Sauce that I recently whipped together and the Mango Relish that I just sliced up, this Clarified Basil Butter goes excellent with just about any meal you can think of, especially meats and salads! What would you use it on?

I admit to being lazy – I just buy a jar of ghee rather than make my own clarified butter (but in my defense, I do know to do it). Now, how nice would this be on brushed on grilled shrimps?
Tangled Noodle, hey there!
No need to call yourself lazy, there’s been many a times that I’ve gone the (just get the) ghee route – clarifying that butter is a time and attention consuming process. I always knew there was something special about you when I first came across your food site; now, I am certain you are without a doubt a super foodie hero winner in my (snack)book! Extra special points on the ghee tip – I thought I was one of the only ones familiar with such a kind of butter
As always, thanks much for taking the time to leave your reply, I really appreciate it!
