Hot Garlic Spread

From WikiNebea

Hot Garlic Spread is good on Chili Corn Bread.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cloves garlic
• 1 medium hot pepper, deseeded
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 8 Tbsp salted butter (1 stick), softened

Finely chop garlic and pepper.
Add to oil in a microwave-safe bowl and cover.
Microwave for 5 seconds, let cool for 20*; repeat 3 times.
Add butter, mix well.
Chill 30 minutes.

* based on a 1250 watt microwave. For small units, try 30 seconds on defrost. The point is to soak flavor into the oil without frying the garlic into little rocks.
