Garlic Butter

© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.

In classical French cooking, Garlic Butter is made from butter blended with puréed garlic cloves that have first been peeled, blanched, drained and dried, then pressed through a sieve.

It is used as a garnish for cold hors d'oeuvres and as a flavouring for some sauces.

Nowadays, it is simply made by mixing fresh minced garlic (or garlic powder) into soft butter, and used as a spread on bread that is then toasted or heated in the oven.
