Roasted Garlic Butter
Roasted Garlic Butter: A spreadable preparation, usually cooked purée worked into softened butter. The name alone does not tell guests whether it contains dairy or is a reduced fruit spread, so identify the actual base.
Context
Use peeled cloves cooked gently until soft. Golden garlic is aromatic but scorched garlic is bitter; garlic-in-oil preparations require controlled refrigeration, not countertop storage.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a small spread on warm bread, declaring dairy if present. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
