FOOD FOR THOUGHT

What’s the most disagreeable vegetable ??? … Potatoes; they never see eye-to-eye !!!

RECIPE
ORANGE-CILANTRO COMPOUND BUTTER

Looking for a great topping for chicken, seafood and vegetables with a fabulous fall flavor? Try this compound butter, perhaps on roasted potatoes from Mattawoman Creek Farms. When added on top of a hot dish, the butter melts, creating a delicious, rich, sweet and savory sauce. Here’s how I make it:

In a small bowl, add 4 tablespoons softened, unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon minced cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix with the tines of  a spoon, incorporating the ingredients thoroughly.

Transfer the butter onto a sheet of wax paper and form into a log shape. Roll the wax paper up tightly and smooth out the log. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The butter can also be frozen.

When ready to serve, remove the butter from the refrigerator, open up the wax paper, and slice off 1/4-inch medallions. Place a pat atop each piece of seafood and serve immediately.
