Sunday Recipe Rewind: Roasted Garlic Compound Butter
I love to keep compound better in the refrigerator. It comes
in handy when I make garlic bread or toasted or when I want a few crackers as
snack. It keeps for a few months so it’s something you can keep on hand.
- What’s great about compound butter is you can make it any
- way you want it. If you like chives, onion, green onion, thyme, basil, or
- whatever you can add it to your butter. I
- have found that the longer the butter sets the better it will taste.
- If you have ever purchased pre-made compound butter at a specialty
- store or a deli you know how expensive it is. You are simply paying for the convenience
- of someone else making it. Make it yourself, customize it the way you like it,
- and save a lot of money. The big bonus is you know what’s in it!
- Ingredients:
- Roasted Garlic Compound Butter
- 1 stick salted butter (softened)
- 1 bulb of garlic
- *any other spices that you want to add*
Directions for
Roasting the Garlic:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb
skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off
1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of
garlic.
Place the garlic heads in a piece of foil.
Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to
make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the
cloves feel soft when pressed.
Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch
it without burning yourself.
Use a small knife cut the skin slightly around
each clove. Use a fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic
cloves out of their skins.

scoop the butter onto a piece of wax paper and form the butter into a stick or
into the shape that makes you happy.

the butter, then refrigerator after and use as needed.
