I love a melty slab of butter oozing on barbecue meat or fish. Or melting into freshly baked gluten free bread. And you can pretty much use any combination of herbs that you like, or that you have grown in your garden. Try a combination of herbs like basil, chives, flat leaf parsley, oregano, thyme, tarragon, dill. Use fresh or dried, whatever you have, or even better, a combination of both really adds freshness and oomph.
