Aromatic leaves

Recipe idea for your salad burnet harvest. Prepare a herb butter to accompany hot vegetables. Let a small amount of butter soften, then incorporate finely chopped fresh leaves. Remove the tough stems before mincing the foliage and start with a small amount to judge the aromatic intensity. Add a little lemon zest and pepper; add salt only if the butter is unsalted. Mix with a fork, place in a small ramekin, and refrigerate to firm up. Melt a knob over hot potatoes, cooked corn, or roasted carrots just before serving. The amount of herbs can be adjusted according to the desired flavor: a small touch is often enough to start. The tender leaves should be chopped with a knife without being crushed for too long. Prepare a small portion of herb butter and keep it cold in a closed container. You can also freeze small dollops to add directly to hot vegetables.
