This recipe was inspired by a local aritisanal butter that we got from our CSA recently. Made in Atlanta, Banner Butter makes a variety of flavors of small batch butters from hormone free, grass-fed cow’s milk. (www.BannerButter.com). Flavors ranging from Balsamic Fig & Caramelized Onion, to Cinnamon, Cardamon & Ginger, to more traditional flavors like Sea Salt and last but not least, my favorite, Roasted Garlic, Basil & Parsley.
Anything involving roasted garlic I am a big fan of, so having this round of tasty butter in the fridge got me thinking about unique ways to use this fabulous find. Great on toasted bread of course, I have also used this butter on roasted shrimp with angel hair pasta and melted like in this recipe onto baked salmon filets. The butter imparts a richness and absolutely fabulous flavor to whatever you put it on! Freshly popped popcorn or even on a roasted chicken are next on my to-try list….
