How to make avocado garlic butter?
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, pit & skin removed
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Small bunch of cilantro, chopped
- Sea salt, to taste
Preparation:
Cut the avocado in half, peel the skin and remove the pit. After that, combine all the above-mentioned ingredients in a food processor and mix until you get a smooth mixture. Season it with sea salt as per your taste.
Then, cover the counter with aluminum foil and add a piece of plastic wrap on top of it. Scoop the mixture onto the plastic wrap and fold the plastic wrap lengthwise, rolling it up a little.
Finally, roll the aluminum foil to get a small log of butter, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours to firm.
