Quick Microwave Fried Garlic for Sauces

Peel the five garlic cloves and place them in a microwave-safe dish.

Add one tablespoon of butter and enough olive oil to completely cover the garlic.

Microwave for one minute initially.

Stir the contents to ensure even cooking and return to the microwave in 30-second intervals until the garlic reaches the desired golden color.

Drain the liquid (butter and olive oil) using a fine-mesh sieve to separate the fried garlic.

To make the barbecue sauce, mix two teaspoons of chimichurri with the prepared fried garlic. (If the meat is already salted, do not add extra salt).
