It's so simple. I love using this butter by spreading it on a baguette and sprinkle some shredded mozzarella and toast it. DELICIOUS. Actually one can use it with chicken or sauces. Just try it. You won't be disappointed.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

100 g salted butter
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon brandy
2 teaspoons lemon juice
parsley

Steps:

Put all the ingredients in a blender.
Blend well until garlic and parsley are finely chopped.
Allow at least 2 hours before using it, for the flavours to mix well.

Tips:

To select the best garlic cloves, look for firm, plump bulbs with no signs of bruising or sprouting.
When roasting the garlic cloves, keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. The cloves should be soft and golden brown when done.
You can adjust the amount of heat in the escabeche by adding more or less chili peppers. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the peppers before adding them to the mixture.
If you don't have any sherry vinegar on hand, you can substitute white wine vinegar or rice vinegar.
The escabeche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It will develop more flavor over time.

Quilla de ajo is a delicious and versatile Guatemalan dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover garlic cloves and is a surefire hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give quilla de ajo a try.
