Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, Ketogenic, Fat Fast
I consider this the most basic of the basic compound butter recipes.
So simple but yet so versatile.
This flavored butter should be standard in every kitchen refrigerator.
It will fit in your Low-Carb, Ketogenic and/or Gluten-Free lifestyle.
Because of my Sicilian heritage and love of Italian cooking, I was inspired to make this extra special.
In a Basic Garlic Compound Butter Recipe, you can really add as much garlic as you want but my favorite Italian dishes are known for their sweet, pungent, garlicky aroma.
Just like when you walk into your favorite Italian restaurant.
Easy to make and easy to keep handy for every situation.
Use it on steaks and fish.
Have it ready for every side dish recipe like asparagus, broccoli or mashed cauliflower.
This will be your go-to all-year-round compound butter recipe.
If you’re on a fat fast, it’s a quick easy way to add healthy fat to any meal.
