Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Let the unsalted butter come to room temperature until soft and easily spreadable.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and roast them in a small skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh parsley.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, roasted garlic (smash it with a fork before adding), chopped sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Mix thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

Step 6

Scrape the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log and tightly seal the ends. Alternatively, transfer to a small airtight container if you prefer a spreadable form.

Step 7

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld, or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes if you’re short on time.

Step 8

Serve as a spread or use it to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.
