Brown Butter with Garlic and Sage

4 servings

30 minutes

Brown butter with garlic and sage is an elegant touch to European cuisine, adding depth of flavor and aroma to dishes. The technique of browning butter has been known since ancient times and is actively used in French and Italian cooking. When heated, the milk solids in butter caramelize, giving it a nutty hue. Garlic adds richness and a hint of spiciness, while sage brings herbal freshness with a slight bitterness. This butter perfectly complements pasta, meat, fish, and vegetables, transforming them into exquisite dishes. It can be used as a sauce, a base for frying, or even as a fragrant seasoning for bread. Its simplicity makes it accessible even for novice cooks, and its rich flavor can turn any meal into a gastronomic delight.
