Butter Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 stalks sage
• 1 clove garlic
• 125 g butter
• 1 untreated lemon
• 125 g butter
• 1 slice ginger
• 1 chili pepper
• 50 g poppy seeds
• 125 g butter
• cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1.

   For the sage butter, dry the used sage and pluck the leaves. Next peel the garlic and dice or cut into slices; this releases its spicy aroma best. Then melt the butter in a pan over gentle heat. Allow it to foam, add the garlic and sage, stir, and remove from heat. Season as desired.

2. 2.

   It pairs well with gnocchi, pasta, and grilled meat.

3. 3.

   For fish dishes, seafood, or dessert, a fresh-fruity lemon butter works wonderfully. Thinly slice untreated lemon zest with a knife or scrape with a zester. Melt the butter again in the pan, lift it from heat after foaming, then let the lemon zest, ginger, and chili pepper steep in it.

4. 4.

   Nutty poppy seed butter refines both savory noodles and sweet dumplings for dessert. Roasting at gentle heat intensifies the aroma. When the poppy seeds perfume, remove from heat and take out of the pan. Let the butter foam, remove from heat, add the poppy seeds, and finish with powdered sugar.

5. 5.

   Whether you serve the butter sauce to enhance a dish, swirl it in, or present it separately, the aromatic variations are limitless according to your wishes.
