Ingredients:
1 loaf of very good French Bread
1/2 pound (two cubes) of butter
4-8 cloves of fresh minced garlic (depending on how much garlic flavor you prefer - I use four
medium size cloves per cube of butter)
Optional: Fresh chopped parsley (I like this option)
I want you to do yourself and your family and friends a favor ( and a “flavor” ). Read my article
on a garlic press. (Yes, I know ...you are busy. So is everyone, but this information may save
you time AND improve your health and that of your family.)
No garlic press? Okay, here is what you need to do:
- Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board.
- Place the flat side of a large knife on the garlic cloves and hit the flat side of the knife
with your hand. The skin will fall off, allowing you to mince the fresh garlic easily.
Instructions:
Melt the butter over low heat (i.e., slowly)
While the butter is melting, peel the garlic cloves and mince
Add your minced garlic to the butter and leave on very low heat for about 3 minutes (do Not
burn the garlic or butter)
Pour the butter/garlic mixture through a small sieve pushing on the garlic with a spoon to extract
all the juice (see the article: "Garlic Press" .)
Cut the French bread the long way through the middle of the loaf
Spoon or brush the garlic butter onto both sides (be generous) and put the loaf back together
Wrap the loaf in foil and heat in a 325 degree F oven until warmed all the way through
Oh! Now I'm hungry! Good job, friends!
