Sun Dried Tomato Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Sauce -- In a small saute pan on medium heat, add the wine and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it reduces by half.
• Add in the capers, lemon and butter (make sure the butter is cold), a little at a time and whisk to combine all the butter. Cook another minute or two.
• Remove from the heat and add in the parsley and sundried tomatoes.
• Serve over your favorites.

Steps:

• Pulse together all ingredients in a food processor until tomato is finely chopped and butter is pale pink. Transfer to a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper and roll into a log about 1 1/2 inches thick. Twist ends of paper to enclose butter and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with the salt, pepper and dried oregano. Drizzle with the olive oil.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
• For the butter: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Blend until the sun-dried tomatoes are finely chopped. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve the salmon with a dollop of the sun-dried tomato butter on top.

Steps:

• In a small food processor, mince the garlic until it's pureed.
• Place all remaining ingredients in the food processor and puree until smooth. (If the tomatoes are large, I'd cut them in half or quarter them).
• Scoop out of the bowl onto a 12 inch piece of plastic wrap or wrapped paper. Form into a log by rolling up the wrap and pushing the butter into shape. Twist ends and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or freeze for 6, until firm.
• To use frozen butter, let it thaw in the fridge until you can slice it. You can also slice your log after it's firm, and freeze individual slices in a single layer.

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer paste to a food processor and pulse with sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, coriander, cayenne, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until finely chopped. Blend in butter and lemon juice, then season with salt.
• Preheat broiler. Lightly oil rack of a broiler pan.
• Pat lamb chops dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total), then broil on rack of broiler pan 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, 6 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Spread tomato butter over chops.
