Garlic butter; dairy free

Garlic butter is very simple to make.  It is perfect for use in home made garlic bread or as a savoury spread for sandwiches.  It is a perfect condiment to melt over vegetables or salad.  the uses of garlic butter are only limited to your imagination.

Of course I shouldn't call it butter!

Ingredients:

450gs of margarine; room temperature
4 cloves of garlic; minced
2 teaspoons of chives; finely diced
50gs of margarine; cubed

Directions:

Melt the cubed margarine in a frying pan as a low heat.  Lightly fry the minced garlic.  It is important to to this over a low heat so that the garlic doesn't burn - If it burns is will be incredibly bitter.  After approximately 8 minutes of shallow frying place the pan to one side to cool.  Place the rest of the margarine in a mixing bowl and blend in the fried garlic, including the oil, and the chives.  when the herbs are blended through scrape the margarine mixture into a Tupperware container, cover and place into the fridge to set.
