party dips double feature - part 2 - tomato butter

People always seem to like my tomato butter, so I make it sometimes for BBQs and parties.  It's super-easy to make and has a lot of flavor.  All you need to do is chop up the dried tomatos and mix everything together.  You should cool it, but take it out at least an hour before serving so it's not too hard.

• 2 sticks soft butter (room-temp, not melted)
• 1 tube or 2 small cans of tomato paste
• couple tablespoons of soy sauce
• chopped sun-dried tomatos
• 1 or 2 tablespoons of Italian herbs to taste
• pre-mixed or make your own with oregano, basil, etc.
• salt
• pepper

It's best on baguette or some sort of white bread, but I eat the leftovers on wheat for breakfast.  (The sausage in the pic is a smoked-pork version of a merguez sausage, which is really popular in Germany, specifically in Saarland where I live.)

And the party double feature is complete!
