We will use garlic, parsley and pepper, which we will crush well in a mortar, and then add them to the butter and mix well.
Once ready, we keep it in the refrigerator until it has a consistent texture again. And it would be ready to use in our favorite recipes.

Other ingredients that we can add to give an original touch to our garlic butter is to add a little grated Parmesan cheese.
Or even a pinch of mustard. You will see how spectacular it looks.
