- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to mix but not melted.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or crush them using a garlic press.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves, ensuring no stems are included.
Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, add the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, ground black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 5
Using a fork or handheld mixer, thoroughly combine all the ingredients until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Taste the garlic butter and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Step 7
Transfer the garlic butter to a serving dish, or shape it into a log using parchment paper for easy slicing.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve as desired.
