recipe 4

two stalks green garlic
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1 pint heavy cream

METHOD

Wash and trim the ends off the green  garlic stalks. You want to use as much of it as possible, including the green stem, but you'll have to take at least one layer off the outside to get it clean. Cut into 2-inch lengths and place in the bowl of a food processor with the parsley. Process until finely minced. Add the salt and the cream to the food processor and turn it on. Let the mixture whirl about 5 minutes, until you see the curds and whey separate. The  curds are the butter; the whey you want to drain off. I tossed my whey, but if you can think of a use for it, save it - it's basically  garlic-flavored buttermilk. Scoop the curds lightly into a sieve lined  with cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter. Let drain at least two hours, or even overnight. You may have to press the curds and knead them to get out the excess liquid. You'll be left with a soft, smooth  butter.
