Fresh herb butter sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
This sauce is the liquid cousin of 'compound butter'. It is a triumph of simplicity: the taste of high-quality butter mingles with the essential oils of fresh herbs. It requires no complex technology, only care to ensure the butter foams rather than burns, allowing it to absorb the aromas.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the herbs, pat them dry, and chop very finely. Grate the garlic.

Tip: Wet herbs will spit in hot butter, so drying is important.
2 ✓

Melt the butter over a low heat. When it starts to foam, add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Tip: Foaming butter indicates that the water content is evaporating.
3 ✓

Remove the pan from the heat! Stir in the herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Tip: The herbs shouldn't be cooked; the heat of the butter is just enough to release the aromas without turning them black.
4 ✓

Serve immediately while liquid and warm.

Tip: If it cools, it will solidify, but can be stored in the fridge and used as herb butter later.
