It’s a rare day when I don’t have a crock
of garlic butter in my fridge. I love to make it up
fresh every week, finding multiple uses for it as the days progress. It’s
delicious on vegetables, makes garlic bread an easy fix, and when buried in the
center of a patty of ground beef ready for the grill, adds flavor and yields a
juicy burger. I think you will find that it will serve you well this summer,
providing you with many uses throughout, making cooking less of a chore, while
amping up the taste of a variety of foods.
Garlic Butter with Fresh Herbs
1 c. butter, softened,
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 T. minced fresh parsley
1 T. minced fresh chives
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients with a hand mixer. Using
a rubber spatula, scrape into a container, cover, and store in the fridge until
ready for use.
To make garlic bread, cut a baguette on the diagonal in slices about 1 inch
thick. Spread copious amounts of garlic butter on each slice, and top with a
mound of cheese. Slide into the broiler until the cheese has melted, and then
enjoy.

Looks fantastic. You always make things look and sound so good Pattie! I bought a lemon thyme plant the other day, and I have rosemary and dill, so there is no excuse for me not to make a fresh herb butter.
ReplyDeleteI do the very same - its so easy to make and so delish. I also put some in butter molds and chill and they pop out into lovely shapes for side butter dishes!
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to keep it on hand! I've got to try in in burgers, thanks Pattie!
