Garlic butter recipes

[Greenlizard0]

Being that there are a few budding cooks on these forums, I'm wondering if anybody has got any good recipes?

 

[mjt]

get some butter and soften it in the microwave,
add plenty of chopped garlic and then mix it together.

there's really nothing more to it

Usually parsley but I've seen oregano or chopped chives used too

I use garlic, butter, salt and parsley. Made Kievs this week, yum.

I always make my own garlic bread. Butter, Parsley, a couple of crushed garlic cloves. But then once applied I add some Paprika then some nice cheese - then toast. yummy!

yeh, i literally only use garlic and butter.
salt isn't needed as i use salted butter, and i don't usually have parsley lying around..

you can add whatever herbs you like really

Nether chives, or oregano are leaves.

That sounds amazing. I think any shellfish would work with that.

Yep a sprinkling of fresh chives on garlic butter bread is amazing. If you're daring, add some very finely chopped chillis to the chives on the bread, then dip chunks into a yoghurt/mint/finely chopped red onion dip.

I think you'll find that they are.

Nope, it's ermm... garlic. Only it's the leaves or shoots from the garlic plant

Parsley usually, but Basil if it is a proper Italian restaurant.

I would only use Basil if the butter was being used with cheese tbh.

Good call.

If you use that recipe, go with a Pinot Grigio for the wine. It complements well as the dinner wine to go with it. "Always cook with the wine you're going to drink."

Trouble is I end up drinking the wine before I've finished cooking, then have to crack open another bottle

Pinot is a great allrounder, Chenin Blanc too. In fact there's a new Red Nose Wine from South Africa (Chenin Blanc white, Shiraz red I think) I tried a sip of the other day, tasted great, and only £4 a bottle.

Isn't that the idea?
