Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 12-15 (approx. 2g) fresh sage leaves, whole
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp (0.5g) freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Place the unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat and allow it to melt completely until it begins to bubble and foam.
  2. Continue heating the butter until the foaming subsides and small, golden-brown milk solids form at the bottom of the pan, emitting a toasted, nutty aroma.
  3. Immediately add the fresh sage leaves and sliced garlic. Sizzle the sage for 30-60 seconds and stir the garlic constantly for 1 minute until softened and golden.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to balance the richness.
