Chop some garlic into small pieces Slice a minute sliver of one lemon. Take a good generous dollop of butter and melt it in a pan and put it on a low flame. Add the chopped garlic as SOON as the butter starts bubbling. let it roast for 5 seconds..then take hold of the vessel, and hold it a few inches ABOVE the flames for some time- to make sure the butter does not burn. Let the pan get some heat, till the garlic is completely roasted, ie it should be golden brown and crunchy. Now squeeze the lemon juice from the lemon sliver into this, stir it well and serve. Salt and pepper can be added if desired.
This is a very nice twist on the usual butter. Tastes great on soft bread, and I think would go well with fried fish too. I think it can also be thickened to a sauce using cornflour, though haven't tried it myself. Once could also try marinading prawns in this and grilling them.
Whole process should not take more than 5 mins, otherwise the butter will burn. the proportion of the three ingredients can be adjusted according to taste.
