This is such a simple ingredient that’s a game-changer in many dishes. You can make the most decadent garlic bread (like I did here), use it for the most delicious garlic shrimp, savoury garlic potatoes, tasty roasted veggies (like carrots) and as a spread in elevated sandwiches.

This isn’t just any garlic butter, this is caramelized. This means the garlic was cooked down in butter at a low temperature for a long period. What you get is incredible garlic butter which is sweet and mellow. I dare you to put this in as many dishes as possible. You’ll be amazed how it can bring a dish to a whole new level.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large garlic head, cloves peeled

  • 1/2 cup of butter

  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a small saucepan, add your butter and oil and cook on medium heat.

  2. Once you have peeled your garlic cloves, “smash” them by pressing down on the cloves with a side of your knife to crush them.

  3. Once your butter is melted and bubbling, turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and add your smashed garlic cloves.

  4. Cook for 45 minutes (stirring regularly) until cloves turn a dark golden colour.

  5. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

  6. Using your mixing spoon, try to break up the garlic chunks in half.

  7. Pour into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

The butter will harden in the fridge, so let the butter sit a room temperature a little before using.
