LEMON-BUTTER COMBINATIONS FOR LOW-SODIUM DIETERS
Fastest way to perk up the flavor of salt-free foods is with lemon butter. Like the wave of a magic wand, a pat of this seasoned butter transforms a flat-tasting food into something quite special. Versatile, too, with five variations on this basic mix:
1-1/2 teaspoons boiling water
2 tablespoons sweet butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Add boiling water to softened butter. Mix well. Add lemon juice and whip mixture until smooth and creamy. Makes enough for 2 cups of vegetables.
Variations—to basic mix add:
1. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley ... for sandwich spread; also fine for meats and vegetables too.
2. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs or 1-1/2 teaspoons approved dried herbs ... use on meats and vegetables; vary amounts to individual taste.
3. 1 tablespoon grated onion or chopped chives ... excellent on baked potato; try also on green beans and squash.
4. 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and 1/4 teaspoon marjoram ... very good on steamed cabbage.
5. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ... good on cooked carrots.
A decorative lemon garnish with that wonderful “lemony” aroma and that bright, gay color can give your ordinary meals a real gourmet quality both in flavor and looks. The decorative designs and garnishes pictured here are easily made with a sharp knife or scissors. To heighten effect, the lemon itself may be garnished with chopped fresh parsley or with paprika ... but, regardless of the decorative uses, always include lots of easy-to-squeeze lemon wedges so that everyone can get plenty of that wonderful lemon tang.
