In a saucepan of boiling water blanch the basil for 2 seconds. Drain
the basil well, pat it dry, and in a food processor blend it with the
butter, the zest, and sat to taste until the mixture is smooth. Let
the basil butter stand, covered tightly with plastic wrap, in a cool
place for 1 hour or, chilled, overnight. Serve the lemon basil butter
with steamed vegetables or grilled meats and fish. Makes about 2/3
cup.
