MAGIC SAUCE



Magic Sauce image

I call this the magic sauce recipe. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmy with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that has veered off the rails in a big way.

Categories     Sauce

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 medium cloves of garlic, (smashed into a paste)
1 well-crumbled bay leaf
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4+ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot. When hot remove from heat.
  • While the oil is heating, lightly pound the rosemary, thyme, and oregano in a mortar and pestle.
  • Stir the paprika, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, and salt into the oil. Then add the bruised herbs and lemon juice.
  • You can use this now, but know - the oil just gets better as it ages over a few days. Keep it in a refrigerator for up to a week/ten days-ish. It thickens up when cold, so if you need it in a liquid state, place it in the sun or in a warm place for a few minutes.

HEIDI'S MAGIC SAUCE



Heidi's Magic Sauce image

I picked this recipe up from one of my most favourite, if not my most favourite blogs, 101 Cookbooks. Heidi says about it, "I call this magic sauce. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. If that. In fact, the hallmark of that sauce, parsley, I skip entirely. But I love this. Love love love. And I use it a hundred different ways." And well, it just sounds magic to me - so I've put it here for safekeeping.

BUTTER MAGIC SAUCE



Butter Magic Sauce image

Friends and family ask me for this recipe all the time and my husband has affectionately named it "Butter Magic." It's quick, simple, and what the old folks used to call LARRUPIN' GOOD (as in "so tasty it makes your tongue slap your brains out!") I originally created this sauce to brush on corn on the cob, but we quickly discovered it's great on any kind of veggies, potatoes, fish, shrimp, lobster, scallops, chicken, bread and popcorn. Let me know what foods you liked it on!

Categories     Sauces

Time 2m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup butter (one stick is a half cup. I have not tried this with margarine.)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning (I like Tony Chachere's or Emiril's Essence but feel free to make your own)
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (always use a high quality paprika, otherwise it has no flavor and you're just adding it for color)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave for approximately 10 - 20 seconds. You want it to be very soft but not liquefied. Do not overheat it or it will separate and the other ingredients will sink straight to the bottom.
  • Stir the butter until it is a smooth, creamy consistency. Add the other ingredients and stir. Enjoy!
  • Tips:.
  • You can refrigerate any leftover butter and use it again. When you reheat, follow the same rules as above. We find that the butter has better flavor on the second use, so you may want to make it ahead of time and let it "steep" in the fridge.
  • I use dried herbs and spices, but feel free to use fresh if you have them. Everything is better fresh. Just remember to use double the amount of herbs.

MAGIC SAUCE



Magic Sauce image

I was fiddling around in the kitchen, trying to make a sauce for pork chops when I created this. It tastes amazing and I had to make sure I saved it for posterity. I add flour as a thickener for long baking, but as a dip, I leave the flour out. This makes enough for two servings of meat.
