Garlic Butter with Chili and Lime

Seasoned butter can turn the plainest vegetables into gourmet offerings. Be brave and experiment like crazy. You will come up with your own signature flavors that folks will recognize and enjoy.

This seasoned butter is adapted from Allana Kellog’s blog. Her moniker is “The Veggie Evangelist”. Check out her offerings. They are bright and inventive.

I was looking for fresh ways to enjoy fresh green beans when I found Alanna. This butter is superb on green beans, but would be equally delicious on steamed cauliflower, a baked potato, or hot quinoa. The flavor is bright and fresh with as much fire as you want to add.
