Green Beans and Cauliflower With Spiced Butter

Connie Veneracion
This side dish of green beans and cauliflower with spiced butter is seasoned with nothing but salt because the spiced butter has everything else that the vegetables need.
Yes, spiced butter. You can make it at home with your favorite combination of herbs and spices. Spread it on toast, melt and drizzle over vegetables, or use it to saute or brown meat and seafood. Keep a few tubs of herbed butter in different flavors and just discover how many other ways you can use them.
