BLACK GARLIC BUTTER)

SERVES: 4

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

CHILLING TIME: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 200g good quality salted butter

• 20 Black Garlic Cloves

• Extra pinch of sea salt

METHOD

1. Place the softened butter into a mixing bowl and add a pinch of sea salt.

2. Roughly chop around half of the black garlic cloves, leaving the remaining cloves in larger chunks for bursts of flavour throughout the butter.

3. Using a fork, mash and mix the black garlic into the butter until evenly combined. Continue mixing until the butter is smooth, creamy and flecked with pieces of black garlic.

4. Spoon the butter onto a sheet of baking parchment or cling film and shape into a rough log.

5. Roll tightly into a neat cylinder, twisting the ends to secure.

6. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving.

7. Spread generously over warm bread, melt over grilled meats, stir through vegetables or use to elevate your favourite dishes. Store in the fridge for up to one week.
