What Makes This Recipe So Good
It tastes AMAZING! If you’ve browsed the site before, you’ve probably noticed that this incredible garlic herb butter shows up in several of our recipes. Well, that’s because it’s perfect with basically EVERYTHING.It’s so, so easy to make. No, I’m not going to have you churn your own butter. Don’t worry, we’ll be using your typical unsalted butter here. All you have to do is toss it in the food processor with some herbs, lemon juice, garlic, and salt, and in just a few minutes you’ll have a creamy garlic-herb compound mixture. Refrigerate it until firm, and voilà!You can change up the flavors every time you make it! It’s easy, too. Just change the ingredients you use! Use different combinations of herbs, different seasonings, you could even make a sweet compound butter by using a little honey. SO good on cornbread and waffles!
Chef’s Tips
Don’t worry about finely chopping your herbs or mincing your garlic. The food processor will take care of most of the work here, you just want to give it a head start.If you don’t have a food processor, you can make this up by hand. You’d definitely need to finely chop the herbs and mince the garlic and shallot in this case, then add everything to a bowl and mash with a fork until everything’s combined.Short on time? You can chill the garlic herb butter in the freezer instead of the fridge to help it firm up faster. You’ll need roughly 2 hours in the fridge, but only 30 minutes or so in the freezer.Higher quality butters will give you better-tasting garlic herb butter. DON’T get me wrong – this will absolutely work with store-brand butters, and it will be DELICIOUS. That being said, I highly recommend trying this with a brand like Kerrygold at least once.
