Use the Contents box to search for recipes by dish type, the Blog Archives to search for a specific recipe by title or the Ingredients Index to pull up all recipes that feature a particular ingredient.

Garlic Butter

Garlic Butter


Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 garlic
  • fresh dill

Directions:

Soften garlic to room temperature.
Peel garlic cloves and remove hard bases.
Crush or finely grate garlic.
Cream together butter and garlic.
Remove fine dill leaves from thick stems, discarding the stems.
Stir dill leaves into garlic butter.

Garlic butter can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container, but spreads best at room temperature. Serve with warm fresh bread, or butter bread and then place it under the grill (with or without additional toppings) to make garlic toast.
