Garlic Tomato Butter Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER

Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on barbequed steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

Steps:

Preheat the oven's broiler to high heat.
Place the tomatoes on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, and place on a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Broil tomatoes until they start to brown and release their juice, shaking the pan occasionally, so the tomatoes brown all over, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the tomatoes cool to room temperature.
Drain tomatoes and place in a food processor. Add thyme, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Pulse until finely chopped, but not completely smooth.
Cube the butter and add to the food processor. Blend until butter is completely incorporated into the tomato mixture, scraping down sides of bowl, if necessary, 25 to 30 seconds.
Transfer the butter to a small covered dish. May be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Discard the onion before tossing the sauce with pasta. This recipe makes enough sauce for a pound of pasta.
