Directions

  1. 1

    In a small mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, Parmesan, chives and minced garlic until well-blended and creamy. Editor’s Tip: A hand-held mixer will quickly blend the ingredients and incorporate air into the butter for a lighter whipped texture.

  2. 2

    Transfer the chive garlic butter to a small dish, cover it tightly and keep refrigerated until it’s time to serve. Editor’s Tip: For a fancier presentation, spoon the butter onto storage wrap, roll it into a log and twist the ends closed before chilling. Once firm, slice the butter into neat rounds for serving.

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.

About this Recipe

Looking to effortlessly transform everyday meals into something extraordinary? This Garlic Chive Butter is your secret weapon, turning simple dishes into culinary delights. It's the perfect way to add a touch of gourmet flair without any fuss.

This recipe works by combining fresh, aromatic chives and pungent garlic with creamy butter and savory Parmesan cheese. The magic lies in how these humble ingredients meld together, creating a compound butter that adds incredible depth and richness to anything it touches. Its ease of preparation belies its power to elevate.

Imagine the luscious richness of perfectly softened butter, deeply infused with the vibrant, oniony notes of fresh chives and the warm, piquant kick of minced garlic. A whisper of salty, umami Parmesan cheese rounds out the profile, creating a truly harmonious flavor. This butter melts beautifully, blanketing your food with a savory, herbaceous sheen that makes everything taste more luxurious and thoughtful. You'll find it surprisingly versatile, enhancing everything from a simple slice of bread to a perfectly seared cut of meat.

While delightful as is, you can easily customize this butter to your liking. Consider adding a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper for a subtle warmth, or a touch of lemon zest to introduce a bright, citrusy lift. For a different cheesy nuance, a finely grated Pecorino Romano could be a wonderful substitute for the Parmesan.

This luxurious Garlic Chive Butter is a must-have for your holiday bread basket, making plain rolls feel incredibly special. Beyond that, it's superb for basting grilled steaks, tossing with roasted potatoes, or swirling into warm grains for an instant flavor boost.
