Digging thru recipe books looking for something differnet. I found this compound butter recipe being used as a bookmark :) I think I may have gotten it from THE LIST back when I first subscribed (before I had a printer!) I remember using it on corn on the cob and other veggies. Bet it would be great to saute mushrooms in, or anything else for that matter! 1 TBSP finely chopped chilepepper (your choice) quarter cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 TBSP grated lime peel 2 tsp lime juice 1 tsp onion powder 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 pount unsalted butter, softened Mix all the ingredients together and allow to sit at room temp. for an hour for all the flavors to "meld". Wrap in plastic or wax paper and freeze. Try combinations like red chiles, orange zest and orange juice or fresh basil and green chiles. -- aka: Breeze ICQ# 3953329 http://www2.crosswinds.net/~breeze62/
