Recipe Ingredients
- 250 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Methods
1. Prepare the Butter
In a mixing bowl, place 250 grams of unsalted butter and, using your hand mixer attached with a whisk, beat the butter until creamy and fluffy.
Add the finely chopped 6 garlic cloves, zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of minced fresh parsley, and 50 grams of grated Parmesan cheese to the butter.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spatula until a smooth and well-combined mixture is formed.
2. Shape
Take a piece of baking parchment and crumple it up to make it easier to handle.
Transfer the butter mixture to the parchment and roll it up tightly to form a log shape.
Once rolled up, place the Garlic Parmesan Butter in the refrigerator until it becomes firm.
3. Serve
Once firm, slice the Garlic Parmesan Butter into rounds and enjoy it with your favourite food.
Use it as a flavourful topping for steaks, pasta, rice, potatoes, or as filling for a Pull-Apart Bread.
Variations
Herb Variations: While parsley is a classic choice, you can experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil to create different flavour profiles.
Spicy Kick: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Lemon Twist: If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavour, add a teaspoon of lemon juice along with the zest.
Serving Suggestions
Steak Topping: Place a slice of Garlic Parmesan Butter on a freshly grilled steak. The butter melts and creates a delicious sauce that enhances the flavour of the steak.
Pasta Toss: Melt a few tablespoons of butter in a pan and mix with the hot pasta. For a quick and delicious meal, add a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese and some ground black pepper.
Bread Spread: Spread the butter on warm bread or toast for a simple but delicious treat.
Roasted Vegetables: Mix your favourite vegetables with melted Garlic Parmesan Butter before roasting them in the oven. This gives the vegetables a rich, savoury flavour.
Mashed Potatoes: Stir a generous amount of butter into the mashed potatoes for a creamy, garlicky side dish.
