Green Beans with Sage Browned Butter: I can’t get enough of my latest addition – browned butter. I have found a new best friend to pair it with Green Beans. I’m talking tender, sweet, slightly crunchy, fresh from my organic garden, green beans. Yes those green beans!!!
I like the combination so much that I couldn’t stop with just one recipe. This one is; Green Beans with Sage Browned Butter – American style. Also, check out my recipe for Green beans with browned butter – Italian style and finally if you like to spice things up with a little fire in your food you’ll love my Green Beans Southwest with Browned Butter.
Here is how I make the Sage browned butter. Use as little as 1 Tbsp butter in a fry pan. Cook the butter until you start to see browned bits. Add your fresh herb ribbons and saute until the herbs are crisp and crunchy. That’s what makes this butter special. The herbs flavor the butter and become bits of crispy flavor bursts in your mouth.
Mix in a few slivered almonds, pour over the cooked beans. This could even be the main course it is that good.
Here is a short video on how to make the sage browned butter.
