Herb Butters

Today we had a very special guest in Gardening Club. Our wonderful school cook Sheila came to look at our herb garden and talk about ways we can use herbs in the kitchen.

 

We picked some herbs from the school garden and drew them in our garden journals. 

We used the herbs to make herb butters - when you spread herb butter on bread it gives a bit of the herb's flavour. It's delicious! 

When you've picked the herbs and washed them, you can either chop them with a knife or cut them up with scissors.

Then, using a fork you  mash the herbs into some butter. 

We made four different kinds of herb butter, chive, tarragon, rosemary and dill. 

They were all delicious!
