Comment: Put this flavored butter on your favorite vegetables for a great addition to any meal. This butter is especially good with green beans, but can also be used on broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus or any other vegetable.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsps softened butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
