Basic Garlic Butter

[smurfblue40]

I was making a new batch and I thought I’d share.

I grew up with a tub of garlic butter in the fridge. We use it for garlic bread, on veggies, on noodles, on... whatever

There are variations of the ingredients used. Some like to add Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, paprika, etc...


I keep it simple -

One bulb of garlic, pealed and finely minced (I use a “slap chop” style chopper, food processor works too)

One tub of butter or margarine, your choice

A dash of chopped parsley if you want (no real reason)


Let butter soften while pealing and mincing the garlic.
Add minced garlic to softened butter.
Mix ingredients well and refrigerate

Guaranteed to keep vampires away

I thought this would get some traction.

Here's a timesaver, or 2
Mine cut off the tips of a whole head and place on a sq. Of foil, drench in olive oil, twist top shut and bake at 350 fer an hr.
Let cool to handle, squeeze out the goodness, place in container and cover with oil to store..


Hers peel and simmer slowly in oil till soft (1 hr?+), store as above (the plus here is free garlic oil)

Killer bread anyone?

We do somewhat of a combo of both of these techniques. Roast garlic as described, squeeze out the cloves into one of those mini food processors, add 2 sticks of softened butter and mix. Form the mixture into a log on some wax paper and use as desired.
