Garlic
3 heads
Extra virgin olive oil
100 ml
Kosher salt
Salted butter
300 g
Parmesan cheese
10 g, aged
Chives
handful
To Prepare
Step 01
Place the garlic heads in tinfoil, season with salt and cover in olive oil, wrap tightly.
Step 02
Place in a preheated oven at 120°C and bake for 2 hours, until the heads are soft.
Step 03
Using a serrated knife, cut the bases off the heads of garlic, squeeze out the pulp into a jar, leaving behind the now crispy skin. Add the oil from the tinfoil to the jar and mix, this will keep as a seasoning in the oil in your fridge for weeks.
Step 04
To make the butter, add the garlic pulp into a bowl with the softened butter. Season with salt and grated parmesan.
Step 05
Chop chives finely, and fold through the butter. Keep in the fridge or roll in clingfilm and freeze for later use.
Step 06
When ready to use, emulsify in a pan with water to create a garlic butter sauce.
