ROSEMARY ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

Category: Miscellaneous

3 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper

In a microwave bowl, combine garlic and oil. Heat in microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until garlic is golden brown, stirring occasionally. Allow to rest at room temperature until cooled.

In a bow, beat butter until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally with spatula. Reduce speed of mixer and add rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper beating until well combined.

If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Allow butter to stand at room temperature 30 minutes to soften slightly before serving.

NOTE: Good to saute vegetables, shrimp and chicken or stir into baked or mashed potatoes, pasta and egg dishes.
