How to make garlic butter?

Garlic butter is really simple to make with only three ingredients. First take 100g of butter (you can use more or less depending on how much you need), 1 garlic clove (or more if you like the flavour to be stronger!) and 2 tablespoons of parsley and then mix it together in a bowl. Once the ingredients are combined, heat them over a hob until melted and leave to cool again in the fridge.

Is garlic a vegetable?

There is much debate as to whether garlic is a herb or a vegetable due to the way it's used in dishes. However, garlic is closely related to onions, leeks and shallots and comes from an edible plant, therefore botanically would be classed as a vegetable.

For optimum freshness, garlic is best stored in a dry, dark place at room temperature.

Not only it is known for adding delicious flavour to recipes all over the world, it is also praised for its amazing health benefits. Garlic grows all over the world and throughout ancient history was more commonly used for its medicinal properties rather than food. These days, however, garlic is a key ingredient in many recipes, from delicious pastas to everybody's favourite garlic bread.

Nutrient-dense, garlic packs fibre, vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese and selenium into just one clove. It’s very low calorie too, meaning it’s the perfect addition to meals for those eating in a calorie deficit. So whether you’re looking to add flavour to your dish, or wanting to fight off a cold, you can always rely on garlic.

Wild garlic is also particularly popular with foragers when it is in season, and is a good alternative for making your own garlic recipes. It can be found in deciduous woodland during the spring period of April to June, and is a wholesome activity for those who love to harvest their own foods.
