James Martin’s Creamy Garlic Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
- Butter: 100g (unsalted butter works best)
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced or finely chopped
- Double cream: 150ml (heavy cream)
- Fresh parsley: A handful, chopped
- Lemon juice: From ½ a lemon
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
- Optional: A small pinch of chili flakes for a little heat
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter:
In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble gently. -
Cook the Garlic:
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté it in the melted butter for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown, as it can turn bitter. -
Add the Cream:
Pour in the double cream (heavy cream) and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, letting the cream reduce slightly and thicken. -
Season:
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also stir in a pinch of chili flakes if you like a bit of heat. Continue stirring and allow the sauce to thicken further. -
Finish with Parsley:
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat. Stir in freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness. -
Serve:
This creamy garlic butter sauce is perfect with grilled seafood, chicken, pasta, or even drizzled over roasted vegetables.
Tips:
- If you want an extra creamy texture, you can add a little grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
- For a richer flavor, use garlic-infused olive oil to cook the garlic.
- The sauce can be kept warm on low heat if you need to prepare other parts of your meal.
