Hey there, foodies! Today, I'm super stoked to share with you how to make fresh raw garlic butter. As a supplier of fresh raw garlic, I've seen firsthand how this amazing ingredient can transform ordinary dishes into culinary masterpieces. So, let's roll up our sleeves and get cooking!
What You'll Need
First things first, let's gather all the ingredients and tools we'll need for this delicious garlic butter.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened. You can use salted butter if you prefer, but unsalted gives you more control over the saltiness.
- 4 - 6 cloves of High Quality Packed Garlic. The exact amount depends on how garlicky you like your butter. I usually go for 6 cloves because I'm a garlic lover!
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, finely chopped. Parsley adds a nice fresh flavor and a pop of green color.
- 1 teaspoon of salt. You can adjust this according to your taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, freshly ground. It gives a bit of a kick to the butter.
Tools:
- A cutting board
- A sharp knife
- A mixing bowl
- A spatula
Preparing the Garlic
Now, let's start with the star of the show - the garlic. Take your Fresh Organic Garlic cloves and place them on the cutting board. Using the flat side of your knife, gently press down on each clove. This will help to loosen the skin, making it easier to peel. Once the skin is off, finely chop the garlic. You want the pieces to be small so that they distribute evenly in the butter.
If you're not a fan of chopping, you can also use a garlic press. Just pop the peeled cloves into the press and squeeze. This will give you a more paste - like consistency, which is also great for the butter.
Mixing the Butter
Next, take your softened butter and put it into the mixing bowl. Using a spatula, start to break up the butter a bit. Then, add the chopped garlic to the bowl. Mix them together really well. You'll notice that the butter starts to take on the wonderful aroma of the garlic.
After that, add the freshly chopped parsley to the bowl. The parsley will give the butter a fresh, herbaceous flavor. Stir it in thoroughly.
Now, it's time to season the butter. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until the salt and pepper are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Taste a little bit of the butter to see if it needs any more salt or pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Storing the Garlic Butter
Once your garlic butter is all mixed up, you have a couple of options for storing it. You can transfer the butter into a small airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It will last for about a week in the fridge. If you want to keep it for longer, you can also freeze it. Just put the butter into a freezer - safe container or a ziplock bag and pop it in the freezer. It will last for up to three months in the freezer.
Using the Garlic Butter
Now that you have your delicious fresh raw garlic butter, let's talk about all the amazing ways you can use it.
- On Toast: Spread a generous amount of garlic butter on a slice of toasted bread. It's the perfect breakfast or snack. You can also top it with a little bit of cheese and broil it in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- With Pasta: Toss some cooked pasta with a spoonful of garlic butter. You can also add some Parmesan cheese and a little bit of pasta water to make a simple and delicious pasta sauce.
- On Steak: Before cooking your steak, rub a little bit of garlic butter on it. It will add a lot of flavor and keep the steak moist during cooking. After the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes and then top it with another dollop of garlic butter.
- On Vegetables: Brush some garlic butter on vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, or zucchini before roasting them in the oven. The garlic butter will give the vegetables a delicious flavor and a nice golden - brown crust.
