Homemade Garlic Butter with Parsley
Easy homemade compound butter for grilled meat - with only 5 ingredients. Compound butter is absolutely fantastic for summer grilled dishes - and for many other delightful dishes throughout the year.
Ingredients
- 0.5 l Cream
- 51 gram Buttermilk
- Salt to taste
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 bunch Parsley
Instructions
- Find a plastic container.
- Pour the cream and buttermilk into it.
- Mix it together.
- Put a lid on.
- Let the mixture sit under the lid for 24 hours at room temperature.
- After 24 hours, place the now cultured mixture in the fridge for another 24 hours.
- After 24 hours in the fridge, the mixture has solidified. Put it in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
- Whisk until it begins to separate into butter and buttermilk - this process takes about 20 minutes.
- Fill a large bowl with water.
- Take the butter out of the mixing bowl and transfer it to the bowl of water.
- Press the liquid out of the butter and squeeze the butter together into one large clump.
- Find a medium-sized bowl. Transfer the butter clump to the bowl.
- Press the garlic into the butter. You can watch the entire process in the video below.
- Finely chop the parsley and add it to the butter as well.
- Add a bit of salt - better a little at a time than too much.
- Mix everything together.
- Season with more salt if needed.
- Serve your homemade compound butter immediately, refrigerate it, or freeze it for later use. In the fridge, the butter can keep for a few days.
Notes
You can of course also choose to make your compound butter without making the butter from scratch first.
In that case, simply buy pre-made butter and add parsley and garlic.
