Garlic Butter

Great with grilled meats, fish & steamed vegetables

1/4 cup butter
crushed garlic, to taste (start w/2 medium cloves)

Work the butter on a plate with a knife or spoon until it is slightly soft. You don’t want the butter too soft. Work in the crushed garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice.
