Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter cold unsalted
- 6 garlic finely grated, cloves
- 2 unsalted butter sticks, softened
- 2 tablespoons parsley Italian flat leaf, fresh, minced
- 1 tablespoons chives fresh, minced
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Add two tablespoons of unsalted butter to a medium-sized sauté pan.
- Immediately add the garlic to the butter and then turn the heat to low-medium. Doing this process will give the butter more time as it will not directly touch the hot pan. This garlic needs to be perfectly cooked.
- Once the garlic touches the pan and the butter has melted, cook the garlic, stirring with a spoon just until it’s fragrant, which only takes 30 to 45 seconds. Set it to the side to cool slightly.
- Next, add the 2 sticks of softened butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes or until the butter becomes light and fluffy.
- Turn the speed to low and add in the cooked garlic and any melted butter from the pan, the parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
- Mix on medium speed just until combined. Taste it and adjust any seasonings.
- Serve or store the butter.
