Garlic butter FAQs
How do you make garlic butter?
The simplest garlic butter is just crushed garlic mixed well with softened butter, but you can also add extra flavour with herbs and other ingredients.
Can you make garlic butter with granules?
Yes, you can use garlic granules in place of fresh garlic to make garlic butter. Fresh garlic will generally taste better, but if you don’t have any to hand, granules will still work.
How to use garlic butter
Garlic butter is a kitchen staple that enhances so many dishes. Spread it liberally on ciabatta, melt it over freshly cooked pasta, dollop on a cooked steak, or stir into seafood. Coat your roasted vegetables ready for baking or gently pan-fry with spinach or greens to make them extra delicious.
Mix up your garlic butter recipe
Most garlic butter recipes include additional herbs or seasoning, so feel free to add all sorts of extra flavours to it. Try using different seasonings like paprika, chillis, or Italian herbs. You could even add some parmesan cheese to take it to the next level.
