Brown Butter Basil.

If you have never browned butter before…well, let me tell you:: You are in for something great.

Browning butter is super easy, requires not even a full extra step, and adds a whole new level of flavor to your food. This recipe doesn’t get into the entire process of browning butter but it uses the same basic concept so you will achieve a great taste. Plus I like that for four people, this recipe only calls for a little bit of fat and since the flavor is so rich, you could probably cut it down just a little bit if you want.

Versus regular butter, browned butter adds a level of nuttiness and depth to the taste. Trust me, y’all will like this.

Pulling the basil from my little garden. Honestly, no need to be impressed. There are like five things in there. Promise.

I’m so happy that it’s corn season. Well, to my Indiana readers, I don’t know that it is actually corn season but I mean that it’s the time in which grilling corn, eating corn, and pretty much having it all the time is perfectly acceptable. Please feel free to write me an editorial correction.
