Instructions
Before you begin
Add your saucepan to the stove on medium heat.
Using your microplane, grate 4 Cloves of Fresh Garlic into the saucepan.
If you do not have a microplane, use a knife and cutting board to chop the Garlic finely.
Add 1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Stir the Garlic as the Oil begins to sizzle.
Once sizzling, turn the heat down to low.
You do not want the Garlic to brown. Sautéing the Garlic and Oil only awakens the flavor. Make sure you are cooking at low temperatures to prevent the Garlic from browning.
Add 1 stick (1/2 Cup) of Butter with a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
Let simmer until you melt the Butter entirely.
After this, the Garlic Butter is ready to enjoy!
The longer you let the Butter and Garlic simmer, the better it will taste.
