🧈🌶🧄🧈PUT Gochujang Garlic Butter on EVERYTHING❗️Compound Butter Recipe | Beurre composé 고추장버터

Cut the top 1/3 off the bulb of garlic.

Place the garlic in the center of two sheets of aluminum foil.

Add a big pinch of salt on top of the garlic.

Add freshly ground black pepper on top of the garlic.

Drizzle a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil over the garlic.

Cover the garlic loosely with the foil, folding the ends up but leaving the middle puffed up.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Once preheated, place the foil-wrapped garlic in the oven and bake for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, turn off the oven and let the garlic rest inside for another hour without opening the door.

After resting, remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool until warm to the touch.

Squeeze the bottom of the garlic bulb to extract the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl.

Mash the roasted garlic cloves until it forms a paste, leaving some clumps for texture.

Ensure the stick of salted butter is at room temperature and soft enough to leave a dent when pressed.

Add about 20g of the roasted garlic mash to the room temperature butter in the mixing bowl.

Fold the garlic mash into the butter without overmixing, ensuring some garlic clumps remain visible.

Add 1 tablespoon of gochujang to the butter mixture, scraping off the spoon to get all the paste.

Fold the gochujang into the butter mixture, being careful not to overmix.

Transfer the gochujang garlic butter into a ramekin, leveling it off with a spatula.

Clean the edges of the ramekin with a wet paper towel for presentation.

For storage, place the butter in an airtight container instead of wrapping it in plastic wrap.

Optionally, sprinkle some Himalayan salt on top of the butter before serving.

To present the butter nicely, place it on parchment paper, fold it over, and shape it into a roll using a baker's scraper.

Place the rolled butter into a Ziploc bag, removing the air and sealing it tight.

Refrigerate the butter for about 30 minutes to firm it up.

Slice the chilled butter into rounds for serving.
