Garlic butter

Garlic butter is a creamy and flavorful mixture made from butter and finely chopped or crushed garlic. This ingredient is very popular in cooking to add an extra touch of flavor and aroma to a wide variety of dishes, from breads and meats to seafood and roasted vegetables.

Its origin dates back to European cuisine, especially French and Italian cooking, where it is traditionally used to prepare sauces, spread on breads, or enhance the flavor of baked or grilled dishes. However, its use has spread throughout Latin America and the world due to its versatility and delicious taste.

Properties: Garlic butter provides a combination of healthy fats from the butter and the beneficial properties of garlic, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial capabilities. It is an excellent option to enhance the natural flavor of foods without adding excessive salt or artificial seasonings.

In different regions of Latin America, garlic butter may be known by various similar names, such as "butter with garlic", "garlic butter" or simply "garlic in butter". However, the most common and recognized term is garlic butter.

This ingredient is essential in recipes such as garlic bread, garlic butter shrimp, or as an accompaniment for meats and vegetables, providing an intense and delicious flavor.
