Sometimes we stock up on fresh herbs for a particular dish, but end up using only half of them. However, that does not mean that the rest should go to waste. In this post, we give you four suggestions on how to creatively use any leftover herbs you might have.
Make your own herb butter

Freeze your herbs and save them for another time
If you happen to end up not using up all your fresh herbs, you can always freeze them and save them for another time. A nice tip is to freeze them as little ice cubes covered in a good olive oil. In this way, you will always have your favourite herbs at hand when you need them. In addition, freezing them in olive oil will minimise the risk of the herbs taking damage and turning brown in the freezer.
