Autumn’s Answer to Pesto: Brown Butter and Sage Sauce

Need a quick topping for pasta? Looking for something to jazz up those leftover roasted potatoes? How about a sauce to drizzle over pan-fried chicken or pork chops? Or maybe a quick dip for crusty bread?

Brown Butter and Sage Sauce could be just the thing. With all the musky sweetness of fall, sage is the perfect herb to accompany cooler evenings and longer nights. Paired with the nutty, saltiness of brown butter, sage only gets better.

To make Brown Butter and Sage Sauce, melt half a stick of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, add four sage leaves, finely minced, and continue to cook until butter turns amber-colored and sage gives off a sweet aroma. Add salt to taste.

Once you have Brown Butter and Sage sauce on hand, you can add it to almost anything.  Its earthiness complements root vegetables, meats, and starches beautifully.  And of course, there’s nothing like Brown Butter and Sage Sauce to make the house smell like the holidays.
