Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 to 45 minutes to make it easier to mix.
While the butter softens, finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, ensuring there are no large pieces.
In a small saucepan, gently cook the minced garlic over low heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cooked garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Mix thoroughly using a fork or a spatula until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Taste the garlic butter and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the garlic butter to an airtight container or roll it into a log using plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the garlic butter as a spread on bread, a topping for steaks and vegetables, or as an enhancement to your favorite pasta dishes.
