Ingredients

Makes 1 cup

  1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter; cut into chunks

  5 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled

  1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

  

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter melts, then bring just to a simmer and simmer gently for 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand for at least 1 hour to bring out the flavors.

  

Step 2

Reheat over low heat to melt the butter before using.
