We really enjoyed this garlic butter which enabled me to use fresh garlic, basil and oregano from the garden and gave it a wonderful flavour, I omited the garlic powder though and I did use 8 cloves of garlic because we just love it and at the moment being so fresh is lovely and sweet. I didn't have a baguette so just used some wholemeal/wholegrain rolls to make the garlic bread which unfortunately don't work as well as a baquette but still tasted very good. Thank you Oolala, made for Bargain Basement tag game.Reply
