We love using fresh herbs to make this Italian herb butter recipe, however, if you’re out of fresh herbs, you can substitute with dried herbs. Just remember the ratio of fresh to dried is about two fresh to one dried, since dried is more condensed and concentrated.
You can read more about fresh to dried herbs ratios here in our Herbs de Provence recipe.
This Italian herb butter recipe goes beautifully with fresh corn on the cob.
