1. Melt slowly the butter in a bain-marie

 

2. Meanwhile put all the other ingredients in a blender in the following order: first the parsley, then the whole cloves of peeled garlic, followed by the lemon juice and the chilli. Make sure that all the ingredients are very finely chopped. Then add a cup of hot melted butter into the blender and keep adding the butter (approximately 1/3 of the melted butter) until the mass is well blended.

 

3.Place it in a mixing bowl and add the remaining melted butter. Salt and pepper. Mix well.

 

4. Place the mixing bowl in a larger bowl of ice and stir slowly until the butter doesn’t separate from the other ingredients.

 

5. Place in the fridge for 2 hours.

 

6. Before the butter has hardened roll in foil to form big sausages.

 

It will keep in the fridge for weeks.

 

Use the garlic butter to prepare snails in their shells, on steaks (maitre d’hotel), to pan fry garlic prawns, or to make the famous pommes Sarladaise or for whatever takes your fancy.
