Ingredients

  • 1 head (about 50g) Black garlic
  • 113g (½ C) Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp Flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Remove the black garlic cloves from the head and place them into a small mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, smash the black garlic until it is mashed and no large pieces remain.
  2. To the bowl of the garlic, add the softened butter and the flaky salt and stir until well combined. Add more salt if desired.
  3. The butter may be used immediately or placed in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to firm up. Black garlic butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or it can be wrapped well and frozen for up to 4 months.

    4. ∗ Tip: The black garlic butter can also be made in a food processor. To do so, add all of the ingredients to the processor bowl, and blend until incorporated.
