Lemon Herb Butter Sauce

Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
Think of this as the liquid cousin of a compound butter. It's a triumph of simplicity: high-quality butter melting into the essential oils of fresh herbs. It doesn't require complex techniques, just a watchful eye to ensure the butter foams rather than burns, gently coaxing out the aromas.

Instructions

1 ✓

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

Tip: Wet herbs will splatter when hitting hot butter, so ensure they are dry.
2 ✓

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

Tip: The foaming indicates water is evaporating from the butter.
3 ✓

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

Tip: Do not cook the herbs; the residual heat of the butter is enough to release their oils without darkening them.
4 ✓

Serve immediately while warm and liquid.

Tip: If it cools, it will solidify, but can be refrigerated and used as a compound butter later.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use margarine?
It's not recommended. Margarine has a high water content and lacks the flavor profile needed for a silky, rich finish.
