Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley leaves chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and salt for a couple of minutes until fluffy. Add the garlic and parsley, and stir to combine well.
  2. Transfer the garlic butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll it up to form a cylindrical shape. Twist both ends tightly and refrigerate. The butter will be ready to use once it becomes cold and solid.

Notes

  • Let the butter soften at room temperature before blending with other ingredients. This will make it easier to mix, and you’ll end up with a smoother consistency.
  • Experiment with different herbs, spices, and seasonings. You can create a unique flavor profile by adding ingredients like lemon zest, honey, or even chili flakes.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavors. Dried herbs can also be used, but use only half the amount.
  • Gently roll the butter into a log shape using plastic wrap or parchment paper. It’s easier to slice and store this way.
  • Double or triple the recipe and store it in the freezer for future use. This way, you’ll always have garlic & herb butter on hand whenever you need it.
