At work yesterday, a friend was telling me about making garlic butter. He said he took a stick of butter, and added a big clove of garlic. At this point, he gestured with his hand, indicating holding something the size of a baseball in his palm.
"Bulb" I murmured.
In any case, he had take a bulb's worth of garlic, tossed it in the food processor with a stick of butter, and then smeared it on bread and browned it in a pan, Texas toast style. Yum.
I decided to take it a step further. I think parsley goes well with butter and garlic. But once I got to the garden to get the parsley, I thought a little basil and oregano would go quite nicely as well. It all went into the mixer with a stick of lightly salted butter and eight cloves of garlic.
I have plans for this stuff. Not just for garlic bread (buttered french bread toasted under the broiler), but tossed into pasta, or a dollop on cooked fish or shrimp. A teaspoonful melted atop a charred rare steak. Even on mashed potatoes.
Let the feasting begin.
Is it wrong to consider eating it straight out of the bowl? :D I love Garlic.

K: Just about everything I make can be eaten right out of the bowl. (I won't tell.)

I put the butter on plastic wrap and make a small quarter size roll, put it back in the fridge to harden, then cut rounds to go on a steak after it comes off the grill.Yummmm

Have a dream, pay your action! Dream is very far away, but must be true!

I always do pitching in other blogs. I do it with confidence about the topics I bring and also I do it in a decent way with no negativity so that the relationship between the blog owner and me will not go smooth.
