Making roasted garlic butter is incredibly easy. All you need is good butter and your roasted garlic recipe. When making simple recipes at home with few ingredients, it’s important that they are of high quality to ensure a flavorful and distinctive dish. Good garlic is essential in the kitchen.
Garlic butter ingredients
- 100g of unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 head of roasted garlic
We will use one roasted head of garlic for every 100g of butter.
If you use salted butter, be sure to adjust the salt when making the roasted garlic, to avoid it becoming too salty.
Steps to make garlic butter
We can make it in two ways: by hand or using a food processor. Using a food processor will give you a creamier texture, but it will turn out really well by hand. It’s very important that the butter is at room temperature, so you’ll need to take it out of the refrigerator several hours beforehand. Once you have all the ingredients ready, mix them in a bowl by hand or using your food processor. Taste and add salt if needed. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and place the mixture on top. Roll it up, twisting it on the paper until you have a cylindrical shape. Let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, and your roasted garlic butter is ready.
How to consume it
The list of uses we can give to our roasted garlic butter is endless.
