Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Let the unsalted butter come to room temperature until soft and easily spreadable.
Peel the garlic cloves and roast them in a small skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh parsley.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, roasted garlic (smash it with a fork before adding), chopped sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Scrape the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log and tightly seal the ends. Alternatively, transfer to a small airtight container if you prefer a spreadable form.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld, or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes if you’re short on time.
Serve as a spread or use it to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.
