Garlic Butter

This week, let's make some compound butters. These are great to add a little extra flavor to a dish.

2 tablespoons olive oil

6-10 cloves garlic, minced

2 sticks butter, softened

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not brown). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Combine garlic, butter, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form into a long cylinder on a piece of parchment paper, foil, or plastic wrap and roll up, making sure to cover ends; or place in a bowl and cover. Keep refrigerated for 1 week or freeze up to 6 months.
