Garlic Parsley Butter Recipes

GARLIC PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

RIPPED BAGUETTE WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it softens but does not brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool. Then stir this garlic butter into the remaining butter in a small bowl. Stir in the parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rip open the baguette lengthwise, so that it opens like a book but is not ripped entirely in half. Smear the inside of the baguette with the garlic butter. Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil and bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH GARLIC PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut carrots into 2 to 3-inch sticks. (Depending on how wide the thicker ends are, you may need to slice each stick in half, lengthwise). Toss carrots onto the baking sheet with the olive oil and salt. Make sure the carrots are coated then spread out into one layer. Roast carrots, stirring twice, until they are tender with edges that are lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the carrots roast, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Use the back of a large knife to gently crush the garlic clove. Remove the skin then add clove to the butter along with the parsley. Wait until the butter bubbles gently then cook for 1 minute. Slide the pan away from the heat and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic.
• Slide the roasted carrots into a bowl with the garlic parsley butter. Toss then season to taste with additional salt as needed.

• Purée all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

FLAVOURED BUTTERS

Steps:

• Take 100g of butter out of the fridge for an hour to soften. Flavour is key, so use good-quality semi-salted or unsalted butter. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon until it is soft and creamy, then beat in any of the flavourings you fancy. See each below.
• Tip the flavoured butter onto a square of baking parchment or cling film, roll it around the butter to form a sausage shape, then twist the ends to seal. The butter is now ready to be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to a month in the freezer.

GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir the butter, garlic and parsley, if using, together in a small bowl. Season with a little salt (only if using unsalted butter) and black pepper. If the butter is too cold to mix, warm the ingredients in a small pan until melted and combined, then leave to cool. Will keep for up to one week in the fridge.

ESCARGOTS IN PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a food processor and add the remaining butter, parsley and cream. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl's sides. Mix in the salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the escargots and cook for about 5 minutes. Keep warm. Place the remaining butter mixture in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until it liquefies but is thick and creamy. Divide the escargots among 4 small dishes and pour the sauce over them. Serve.
