Onion Butter Recipe

1. Prepare the Onions:
   • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Add the finely diced onions and sauté until they become translucent and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Remove the pan from heat and let the onion-garlic mixture cool to room temperature.
2. Mixing with Butter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sautéed onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme (if using).
   • Use a spatula or a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together until well combined.
3. Shape and Store:
   • Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface.
   • Spoon the onion butter mixture onto the plastic wrap and shape it into a log or any desired shape.
   • Roll the plastic wrap around the butter, twisting the ends to secure it.
   • Refrigerate the onion butter for at least 1-2 hours or until firm.
4. Serve:
   • Once the onion butter is firm, unwrap it and slice into rounds or chunks.
   • Use the onion butter on bread, rolls, grilled meats, vegetables, or any dish where a burst of savory flavor is desired.
