• Mash the cloves of garlic with salt and transfer to a food processor along with all the other ingredients; process until smooth.
• Roll into a 6-inch log in a sheet of plastic wrap twisting the ends closed (if you find that the butter is too soft to roll, place in the fridge until it is a bit firmer but still soft enough to shape into a log).
