Edible parts

Aromatic leaves

Remove the tough stems before finely slicing the foliage, and start with a small amount to gauge the aromatic intensity. Add a little lemon zest and pepper; 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 flavored butter and keep it cold in a sealed container. For Basil Discs, keep the labeled bag to track the data specific to the cultivar throughout the season.
