Roasted Garlic Butter

This is a recipe for a butter that's given a massive flavour leg up with roasted garlic, parmesan and anchovies. I am hopelessly addicted to it, and I use it on everything: slather on bread, on cooked proteins (chicken, fish, steak), and steamed vegetables. It's especially brilliant with roast beef, like the Beef Rump Cap Roast (Picanha) I also shared today.Use softened, or shape it into a log, refrigerate then cut slices and place on a hot dish to let it slowly melt.Makes 150g / 2/3 cup, enough for 6 to 8 people as a sauce for steak etc.

Garlic Bread

You may have once struggled with dry or greasy breads reeking of burned or raw garlic, but it's time to put that behind you. This is a versatile recipe, as readily made with thin baguettes, as it is with rustic sourdoughs and airy Italian loaves. Cutting the bread like a Hasselback potato keeps the butter from seeping out and allows the garlic to infuse the bread with its flavor without scorching. But, if it's an extra cheesy garlic bread you're looking for, slip a little mozzarella into each slit.

About this Recipe

Elevate everyday meals and impress your guests with this incredibly easy garlic butter recipe. In just 5 minutes of prep, you can create a luxurious spread that transforms simple bread, potatoes, or vegetables into something truly special.

The magic of this garlic butter lies in using room temperature unsalted butter, which whips up effortlessly to a smooth, creamy consistency. This perfectly soft base is then combined with freshly grated garlic for intense, vibrant flavor that truly shines. Adding a hint of finely chopped fresh parsley or chives brightens the profile, making it a versatile condiment you'll reach for again and again.

Prepare for a rich, aromatic spread that's deeply savory with a delightful hint of herbaceous freshness. The butter will be soft and creamy, perfect for melting over warm dishes or spreading generously onto a baguette. This simple garlic butter is a flavor powerhouse, designed to enhance your favorite foods with minimal effort, promising a delicious experience every time.

While classic, this garlic butter is incredibly adaptable to your taste. Feel free to swap parsley for chives or experiment with other finely minced fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different aromatic twist. For a subtle savory depth, a tiny pinch of onion powder can be added. If you only have salted butter on hand, simply omit the added sea salt and adjust to your preference.

This versatile component is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for elevating a special occasion. Slather it on crusty artisan bread, melt it over steamed green beans, or swirl it into warm mashed potatoes for an instant upgrade.
