Does anyone have any recipes/ideas to feed my addiction!? TIA :) Sun Dec 12 10:51:37 -0800 2004 0 Funwithfood 1 1450350 Nigella Lawson gives a recipe for burnt butter cupcakes in her Domestic Goddess book.

Check out Nancy Silverton's "Desserts" or "Chez Panisse Desserts", they should have some recipes.

I haven't tried it, but it sounds great.

A classic rendition is pumpkin ravioli w/ brown butter and sage. I believe that Mario B. has some version of this in his "Babbo" cookbook, which I sadly do not own. Found a recipe from marthastewart.com that looks good. Also is a good way to recycle leftover mashed potatoes!

Steamed wedges of cabbage and brussel sprouts are particularly good drizzled with it, as are green beans, asparagus, broccoli, etc. Sun Dec 12 22:49:26 -0800 2004 1450339 0 Terrie H. 1 1450413 Seared scallops (smaller Nantucket Bay scallops are in season now if you can get them). To accompany scallops -- vanilla corn -- melt some butter by mixing with freshly steamed corn kernels, add a touch of vanilla (good extract is fine), some finely chopped parsley for colour. Great if you can get fresh cornsteamed in their husks. Adjust with a tiny tiny pinch of sugar if the corn isn't sweet enough. To border on overkill, add a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. Sun Dec 12 23:41:56 -0800 2004 1450339 0 Limster 2 1450423 I defy you to find a dish better than corn in brown butter with basil. It is *the best thing* you'll ever serve your guests, made even better by the fact that, while the dish is divine with fresh corn, it kicks a$$ with canned corn too. Shh! I've revealed a serious secret here! You need a couple of cups of corn, either fresh from the cob (or that wicked can -- Trader Joe's works pretty well). Brown a couple of tablespoons of butter, add corn and warm it up. Before serving, stir in slivered basil. That's it! A dish that is more than the sum of its parts. Enjoy!
