Whipped butter enriched with soft, oil-confit smoked garlic and fresh chives.
⏱️ Prep: 10 min🍳 Cook: 20 min
Ingredients
| — | light olive or vegetable oil, to cover | |
| 5 | smoked garlic cloves | |
| 125 g | unsalted butter, whipped | |
| pinch | salt | |
| 4 tsp | 20 ml | chopped chives |
Instructions
- In a small heavy-based saucepan, place the garlic and cover it completely with oil.
- Over very low heat, cook the garlic until soft. It is important not to let the oil bubble — cook just below frying point. If the oil is too hot you will end up with deep-fried garlic. The garlic should change colour but not brown.
- Drain the garlic and let it cool.
- Once cool, mash it with the flat side of a heavy knife blade.
- In a bowl, mix the garlic, butter, salt and chives.
- Place in the fridge until ready to use.
