Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Butter — Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. Salted butter adds an extra depth of flavor, but if using unsalted butter, adjust the salt to taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • Be patient while browning the butter to achieve the perfect nutty flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of herbs and spices according to your personal preference.
  • Serve the Nièr beurre with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or drizzle it over pasta for a decadent twist.

Serving advice

Serve the Nièr beurre immediately while it is still warm and pour it generously over your chosen accompaniment. The sauce pairs exceptionally well with roasted chicken, seared scallops, or steamed asparagus.

Presentation advice

Drizzle the Nièr beurre over your main dish in an elegant and artistic manner. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to add a touch of sophistication.
