Herb & Garlic Butter

I love herb and garlic butter! It is a staple in my fridge.

It is a family favourite topped on BBQ steak. I also use it to cook chicken and fish, as a base for scrambled eggs, and mixed with a little olive oil to bake roast vegetables.

It is quick and easy to make and a great way to use up left over herbs.

Herb & Garlic Butter

Author: Lee Newcombe

A delicious mix of herbs, garlic, butter, and salt, it is a wonderful accompaniment to grilled meat, a base for cooking chicken, fish, baked veggies, scrambled eggs, or as a spread—the options are only limited by your imagination and taste buds!

Ingredients

• 1 kg butter, softened
• 2 cups mixed herbs (I used parsley, mint, thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil), finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together butter, garlic, herbs and salt.
2. Spoon the herb butter onto a piece of parchment paper. Form into a log and wrap well. I like to use parchment paper, but foil or cling wrap also works.
3. Chill.
4. Store in the fridge.
