Hot Sauce Brown Butter

This piquant hot sauce brown butter is a versatile condiment that brings a sophisticated depth of flavour to a variety of simple dishes. By gently heating the butter until the milk solids caramelise, you create a rich, nutty base that perfectly complements the bright acidity of fresh lemon and the gentle heat of the hot sauce. It is an excellent way to add a luxurious touch to lean proteins without the need for heavy sauces.

As a flavour-packed addition to a low-fat diet, a small amount of this savoury butter goes a long way. Try melting a disc over steamed broccoli, grilled chicken breasts, or a piece of flaky white fish just before serving. This homemade compound butter can be kept in the freezer, making it a convenient solution for quick midweek meals.

Quickly transfer butter to a small bowl, scraping in browned solids. Let cool.

Chill brown butter 10 minutes. Stir to distribute solids. Continue to chill, stirring every 10 minutes, until butter starts to solidify.
