Smoked Roasted Garlic Butter

Garlic Butter Recipe

Every single one of those words sounds delicious to me.  Love it all.

Garlic butter has a multitude of uses. Just spreading it on bread is delicious.  Adding it to a pasta is decadent.  Rub it on some chicken and it’s sinful. It makes a regular boring G rated grilled cheese sandwich 50 shades happier….:)

The trickiest part of this recipe is the smashing of the roasted garlic.  It’s not as hard as it sounds.  In fact, it’s kind of fun.  A fork works great to smash with (as seen below), or you can use the side of a big knife.

Anyway, making garlic butter is an incredibly simple process.  But it really makes a difference in anything you make with butter.  Roasted garlic has a sweeter flavor than regular garlic, so the taste of this butter is like nothing you’ve had before.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads of smoked roasted garlic
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the heads of the garlic on a cutting board.. If it doesn't squeeze easily, then you can just peel back the skins.
  • Let the butter come to room temperature in a gladware container.
  • Chop the garlic as much as you can, then sprinkle a tiny amount of salt on the garlic. If you let the salt sit on the garlic for a few minutes, it helps the garlic to break down and you can mush it up with a spoon or the side of a large knife.
  • Scrape the garlic in the butter and mix very well.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to use. This should last at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
