Liz's Easy Garlic Herb Butter Recipe #375397
I enjoy going to the grocery store, buying a product that I enjoy and finding a way to make it homemade and less expensive. Sometimes being on a tight budget does not mean you have to sacrifice the quality of the food you cook. I don't cook gourmet or better all the time but sometimes simple things can really turn a simple meal into something better. You can use fresh herbs if you prefer but I just use the Herbs I have handy in my herb rack. This garlic herb recipe is something I just tried one day for kicks and now I love it. I'm never buying it in a store again and hopefully you will love it too. This garlic herb butter goes wonderfully with ANYTHING. Use it with rice, meats, potatoes, and vegetables. Enjoy!
5 min | 5 min prep
SERVES 4
- 2 pinches dried marjoram
- 2 pinches dried thyme
- 2 pinches dried rosemary
- 2 pinches dried basil
- 1 pinch dried bay leaf (chopped not whole leaves)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- lemon juice (very very little amount)
- Make sure that your butter is softened. NOT MELTED.
- Put all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat it until everything is mixed well and incorporated. Your butter will probably be a little creamy.
- Scrape the bowl and put your garlic butter in a container that has a lid and close the lid completely to make sure that no outside air will come inches
- Stick your dish in either the fridge or your freezer.
- I like to make this butter a day in advance so all of the ingredients can hang out. You don't have to let it sit if you need to use it immediately.
- NOTE : Keep in mind that a little will go a long way.
