Crusty Basil Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. margarine or butter, softened
1/4 c. chopped fresh basil or fresh parsley or 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
1 (16 to 19-inch) loaf French bread

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine margarine and basil; blend well. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours to blend flavors.
Heat grill. Slice loaf into 1-inch slices. Spread with herb-margarine mixture. Arrange slices into loaf shape; wrap securely with foil.
(If loaf is too long for grill, divide in half and wrap each half separately in foil.) When ready to barbecue, place loaf on gas grill over medium coals.
Heat 10 to 15 minutes until margarine is melted and bread is hot, turning occasionally.
