The first one is a very tasty and easy one suitable for the birds. You can serve it with chicken, duck and turkey. Do not substitute oil for the butter; it will not taste as good. In South African cooking we use a lot of butter and you cannot use oil in its place, well you can, but it will not be as tasty.
