    Using a garlic press, press each clove of garlic into a small microwavable bowl. If you do not have a garlic press, chop the garlic finely using a knife. This can also be done on the stove top if you do not have a microwave – just place the pressed or chopped garlic in a pot.

  2. Step 2

    Add the butter to the bowl or the pot, followed by the mixed dried herbs. (If using unsalted butter then add a pinch of salt to the bowl as well).
