Have you ever made your own garlic butter?

I too don't bother with melting the butter. Tried all ways of making it and found that not melting is the quickest easiest way to make it with the freshest taste.

Before I chop garlic, I always cut the clove in half lengthways. You'll see a pale green center shoot. That's the part of the garlic that affects your breath and sweat, making you smell. If you take that out, you'll get much less garlic breath!

Why stop at garlic bread though? On fish, you can stick garlic, some sundried tomatoes and basil in a blender and mix with butter. For beef/pork/chicken you can use blue cheese in the butter. For pork, you can caramelise an apple, chop a little sage and mix in with butter.

The possibilities are endless so go and experiment!

+1 on VT too.......roll into a sausage in cling film and cut off disks as you need them.

Wow, you can almost hear the sound of arteries clogging

Stilton butter is lovely on steak though, but I only ever have it once in a blue moon.

Yep, all in moderation though
