Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, and set them aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, add the sage leaves to the pan. Fry the leaves gently in the butter for about 3-4 minutes until they become crisp and aromatic but not burnt.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring gently. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is softened and fragrant, taking care not to let it brown.
Step 5
Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
If desired, add a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten the flavor of the sauce.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Strain the sauce if you prefer a smooth texture, or leave the crispy sage leaves and minced garlic in for added texture.
Step 9
Serve the warm sauce immediately by drizzling it over your favorite dishes such as pasta, roast chicken, or vegetables.
