Has there ever been a person who hates garlic bread ? I cant think of anyone such.
Garlic Bread is my heavenly comfort food, next to .... nothing I guess ! I think you buy me a few slice of garlic bread and I would forgive your gravest mistake !! Aaah, now the secret is out :)
So since I really really love garlic bread, I wanted to try making it at home. Since store bought butter is highly processed and then if you have garlic butter, you can use it with anything else too. So I set about finding out how to make garlic butter. Turns out it is the simplest thing to make - EVER !!!
You need just butter, garlic and salt !! Wow that's it ? Lets go learn how.
INGREDIENTS
(Makes 1 cup of garlic butter)
Homemade Butter - 1 cup (unsalted) OR Store-bought butter (salted or unsalted)
P.S - Will soon put up a recipe on how to make butter at home.
Herbs (optional) - 2 tsps - you can add any herbs for the flavor that you like.
(Mint, Oregano, Coriander, Thyme, Rosemary etc., etc.,)
Garlic - 10 pods / cloves (If you love the taste of garlic, then add more)
P.S: Raw Garlic gives out a pungent flavor - so dont add too much.
Salt as per taste (dont add if you are using store bought salted butter)
METHOD:
- Add the garlic pods into a mixer jar and crush them coarsely.
- If you are using fresh herbs, add along with the garlic and crush them along. If you are using dried powdered herbs, then skip this step.
- Melt the butter slightly. Just make it soft and add it to the ground garlic paste. Grind it a bit more.
- Remove into a bowl. Your garlic butter is now ready to use.
- Spread on bread and toast it for wonderful tasting garlic bread.
- Slightly soften it and use it as a dip for your veggie sticks or anything else that you want to dip in it.
- Use it on your naans or even on your chapathis. It goes with anything and everything.
