Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the butter from the fridge and let it soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or until it becomes easily spreadable.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
Step 3
Wash the parsley thoroughly, pat it dry with a paper towel, and finely chop the leaves. Discard the stems.
Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Using a fork or spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the garlic and parsley are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Step 6
Transfer the garlic butter to a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container.
Step 7
Refrigerate the garlic butter for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
