How to Make Basil Butter
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 cup of packed fresh basil leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper to the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped but not pureed. You want small bits of garlic visible.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and process until just combined. Be careful not to over-process.
- Spoon the mixture into a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
