Easy
Equipment you will need for this technique
Knife
Glass bowl
Wooden spoon
Cling film
Soften the butter by cutting it into cubes and either microwaving it for 30 seconds, or leaving it in lukewarm water for 2 minutes.
Beat the butter with a wooden spoon, until soft and creamy.
Crush a garlic clove with the flat side of a knife. Add salt and continue to break it down, until it forms a paste. Add it to the butter with chopped herbs. Stir, until well combined.
Spoon the garlic butter onto a laid out sheet of cling film. Roll into a sausage shape using the cling film to cover the butter and twist the ends to seal it. Pop it into the fridge to harden. Unwrap and serve with steaks, potatoes, vegetables or bread.
The wrapped and sealed butter will store for up to 3 days in the fridge or for up to 1 month in the freezer.
