Brown Butter Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Have your cooked eggs or fish ready on a heated dish, and have the vinegar at hand in a cruet or bottle with sprinkle-top.
• Melt the butter in a small frying pan and let it darken to a nut-brown colour.
• Immediately take the pan off the heat and dash in the vinegar.
• Season it with a little salt and pepper and pour it sizzling hot over the eggs.

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine vinegar, oil, garlic, sugar, and salt. Shake well.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until browned but not burned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
• In a blender, combine the vinegar, olive oil, shallot and mustard. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the reserved butter and blend until thickened. Season to taste and set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the butter turns light brown in color, add shallots and stir for 10 seconds then season with salt and pepper. Add the sherry vinegar. Remove from heat, place in blender. Turn blender on high; slowly drizzle in olive oil to create an emulsion. Once all the olive oil is added, turn blender off. Taste for seasoning; adjust with salt and pepper, if needed. Add thyme and Italian parsley to blender, quickly pulse to incorporate.
• In a large bowl, toss salad greens with vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the walnuts, butter, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook very gently, stirring often, until the walnuts turn golden brown and the garlic has cooked, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet to slow the cooking, and set aside.
• When ready to serve, toss the greens with a little salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and vinegar to the walnut mixture and spoon the nuts over the salad, adding as much of the dressing as needed to lightly coat the leaves. Add the blue cheese, and toss again.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce each yam in several places with fork. Place directly on oven rack and roast until just tender, 40 to 50 minutes, depending on size of yams.
• Transfer roasted yams to work surface. Using scissors, cut off ends of each yam, then cut skin on 1 long side and peel off in 1 piece, being careful not to break warm yams. Let yams cool to room temperature. Tear or cut skins into long ribbons, about 1 inch wide.
• Cut yams crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange rounds, slightly overlapping, in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish or other ovenproof dish. Cover yams with aluminum foil to keep moist. DO AHEAD: Yams can be made up to 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm yams in 350°F oven 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook until butter browns (milk solids will turn deep golden brown), stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully pour butter, including all brown milk solids, into small bowl.
• Blend shallot, garlic, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt in processor until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add Dijon mustard, then red wine vinegar. With motor running, gradually drizzle in butter (including browned milk solids). Season vinaigrette to taste with pepper and additional salt, if desired. do ahead Vinaigrette can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Blend again 5 seconds before using.
• Pour enough vegetable oil into large deep skillet to reach depth of 1 inch. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of skillet and heat oil to 350°F. Add yam skins in batches (oil will bubble up) and fry until skins are crisp and brown, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, carefully transfer yam skins to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle skins with coarse salt and pepper.
• Spoon vinaigrette over potatoes. Scatter crisp skins over and serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the milk and bacon to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook a few minutes, remove from the heat, and cool 5 minutes. Purée the mixture in a food processor until the bacon is fully incorporated into the milk. Add the eggs, and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer to a baking dish and set aside.
• When you are ready to cook the salmon, stir the breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley into the bacon-milk mixture.
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the salmon in the batter and turn the fillets with your hands to coat well.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook the fish in batches.) Swirl in the olive oil and wait a minute. Carefully place the batter-coated fish in the pan. (Some of the batter might fall off; use your hands to pat it back on, making sure each piece is well coated.) Turn the heat to low, and cook for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully turn each piece over, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, until it's nicely browned on the second side and still a little rare at the center. Transfer the fish to a resting rack.
• Meanwhile, place the butter in a small saucepan and cook 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, swirling the pan a few times, until it browns and smells nutty. Turn off the heat and wait a minute. Add the red wine vinegar, the onion, and a heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return the butter to the stove over low heat, and cook a minute or two, until the onion is just softened but still slightly crunchy. Turn off the heat, and squeeze in lemon juice to taste.
• Arrange the sweet corn, green cabbage, and bacon on a large warm platter and top with the salmon. Stir 2 tablespoons chopped parsley into the brown butter vinaigrette and spoon it over the fish.
• Sweet Corn, Green Cabbage, and Bacon
• Cut the bacon into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Stack them in two piles, then cut the bacon crosswise into 3/8-inch rectangles or lardons.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the bacon lardons and cook about 5 minutes, stirring often, until tender and lightly crisped. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Swirl in the butter, and, when it foams, add the spring onions, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Sauté over medium heat, about 3 minutes, then add the corn, and continue cooking another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Add the cabbage, and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage just wilts. Taste for seasoning, and toss in the spring onion tops and chopped parsley.
• Note
• You can make the base of the batter ahead of time; just wait and add the breadcrumbs and parsley at the last minute. You can also make the brown butter-vinegar sauce ahead of time if you like. Cook the vegetables while you cook the salmon.

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet, cook butter over moderate heat until it takes on a golden brown color and smells like roasted hazelnuts- about 2 minutes.
• Off heat, add balsamic vinegar.
• It will sputter.
• When it stopps sputtering, return to heat and add chicken broth.
• Increase heat and boil for 30 seconds.
• Add salt and pepper.
• Serve hot Will keep refrigerated for 1 week.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Slice the squash 1/2-inch-thick crosswise. (No need to peel.) Cut slices in half, if desired, to make half moons. Remove the seeds from the squash with a spoon and discard.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast on the bottom rack until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip and roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
• After you flip the squash, make the brown butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vinegar and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on the stovetop until the squash is ready. (The heat from the oven keeps the butter from hardening.)
• Dip a piece of squash into the vinaigrette, try it, and adjust vinegar, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste. Spoon the vinaigrette over the squash and top with mint leaves, if using, and flaky salt.
