Step 1
Start by gathering your fresh basil leaves and garlic cloves. Place them in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. This is where the magic begins, as the aroma of basil and garlic fills the air!
Step 2
Next, add in the lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of sugar to the basil and garlic mixture. Pulse again to combine everything beautifully. The lemon juice adds a refreshing zing that balances the flavors perfectly.

Step 4
Once your basil garlic butter is ready, taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. You might want a little more salt or lemon juice, depending on your preference. This is your creation, so make it just right!
