Equipment
- Hand blender
- Jar
- plastic wrap
- freezer bag
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz/ about 1 cup) butter , room temperature
- 50 g (1.8 oz) fresh wild garlic leaves
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice , freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Begin by washing the wild garlic. To clean it, simply wash the wild garlic leaves thoroughly under cold running tap water to remove any dirt. Shake the leaves to remove excess water, then coarsely chop them.
- Next, peel and mince the garlic. Now, add all the ingredients into a jar and blend with a hand blender. Alternatively, you could finely chop the wild garlic and mix all the ingredients together without blending.
- Transfer the butter mixture onto a rolled-out plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Fold the ends nicely around the log.
- Place the butter in a plastic zipper bag, label it, and refrigerate for up to a year. When needed, simply slice off the desired amount and add it to your dishes.
