Interesting details like the aromatic oil with herbs and spices, which we will talk about in this article, make the dish tasty. A piece of this oil can be put in sauce, porridge, on a steak, or used to fry vegetables. And in the velvet season, the aromatic addition will become the best companion of the boiled corn cob.

The beauty of this recipe is that it does not require any preliminary preparation: you just need to soften the butter and you can start cooking. It only takes a few minutes.

Spiced butter

The oil according to the first recipe will have the most intense taste. For its preparation, softened butter should be combined with brandy, sweet mustard, ketchup, garlic, citrus zest, Worcestershire sauce and chopped herbs. The ready-made mixture is ideal as an addition to meat dishes.

Basil oil

Basil oil is much more modest in its composition, which favorably emphasizes the taste of pasta and risotto. For its preparation, soft oil is combined with crushed basil leaves, puréed garlic clove, wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt.

Dill oil

The last spiced dill oil is perfect for cooking vegetables. Combine honey with soft butter, add orange zest along with dill and a paste of garlic and sea salt.

Each of the prepared oils is perfectly stored, especially if you first form a sausage from it and roll it up in a couple of sheets of foil, wax paper or cling film.
