Provided by Ludo Lefebvre

Categories     Bon Appétit     Hors D'Oeuvre     Butter     White Wine     Garlic     Parsley     New Year's Eve

Transfer butter to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off end (or 1 corner if using plastic bag).

SAUTEED BABY POTATOES WITH LEMON BUTTER AND PARSLEY



Sauteed Baby Potatoes With Lemon Butter and Parsley image

To save some time the potatoes can be boiled up to 2 hours in advance and let stand at room temperature --- I usually peel just a strip of potato skin (about 1/2-inch depending on the size of the potato) down the middle leaving peel on both sides, it makes a nice presentation if you are serving them to dinner guests, if new baby potatoes are not in season just purchase the smallest potatoes that you can find for this :)

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH BLACK-GARLIC CRUMBLE AND PARSLEY-ANCHOVY BUTTER



Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Black-Garlic Crumble and Parsley-Anchovy Butter image

The chef Sean Brock came up with this first course after making Craig Claiborne's Bagna Cauda. Instead of bathing the garlic and anchovy in the oil, Mr. Brock has you bathe a whole head of cauliflower in it. You use a ring mold to hold up the cauliflower in a sauté pan, then brown it by spooning over bubbling oil and butter - a process that's fun and a little hairy - and finish it in the oven. In place of garlic, you use fermented black garlic (which is soft and woodsy in flavor) and milk powder to make a "crumble." You slice the cauliflower into large slabs, like cross-sections of a tree, and top them with an anchovy butter and the crumble.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
10 black garlic cloves, peeled (see note)
Half the reserved brown butter (3-4 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 anchovy fillets
Salt
Grated zest from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 small head cauliflower
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt

Steps:

  • Make the black-garlic crumble: place the butter, powdered milk and black garlic cloves in a medium saucepan over low heat and cook until the powdered milk is golden brown and nutty, 20 minutes. Strain the butter from the solids and reserve. Dry the solids on paper towels. Place the solids and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse to combine until the garlic is evenly distributed. Dry on paper towels.
  • Prepare the parsley-anchovy butter: Heat half the reserved brown butter with the fresh butter and mash in the anchovies. Season with salt, zest and juice. Fold in the parsley. Refrigerate until moldable. Using plastic wrap, form the butter into a log. Chill.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, leaving 1 inch of stem intact. Place a ring mold or cookie cutter around the stem to keep the cauliflower upright. Place the cauliflower, oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season the cauliflower with salt. With a large spoon, continually pour the hot oil-butter mixture over the cauliflower, lowering the heat to medium-low if the fat begins to smoke. After about 20 minutes, once the outside is golden brown, place the pan in the oven and bake until just tender in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  • To serve: cut the warm cauliflower into 4 sections. Cut the butter log into 1/4-inch disks and place three slices on each section of cauliflower. Sprinkle with black-garlic crumble.

SHRIMP WITH PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER



Shrimp With Parsley-Garlic Butter image

This comes from the Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom cookbook. The recipe didn't state regular or unsalted butter, so I used regular and found it too salty, but my husband loved it. So, if you love salty dishes, I suggest regular butter, but if you prefer less salt in your dishes, use unsalted butter. Butter can be prepared in advance, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for 1 month. Also, recipe calls for raw shrimp, but I used flash-frozen, pre-cooked & de-shelled shrimp and had no problems. I hope you enjoy.

Categories     Spreads

Time 34m

Yield 6-8 appetizer servings, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs unpeeled jumbo shrimp (or prawns, about 28)
1 cup butter, slightly softened
1 bunch parsley, remove stems, and mince leaves
5 -6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated (or minced)
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare parsley-garlic butter: mash together with a wooden spoon or potato masher, the butter, parsley leaves, garlic, lemon zest, salt, & pepper.
  • 2. Preheat the broiler (grill). Remove legs from shrimp. With a sharp paring knife, make an incision 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep all the way along the curved back of each shrimp up the tail. Don't cut all the way through the shrimp; cut just enough to open it or butterfly it. Lift any dark vein with the tip of the knife and pull out, and press down on the opened shrimp to flatten it without seperating the halves. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry.
  • 3. Arrange the butterflied shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan (you may need to do this in batches).
  • 4. Place 1-2 tsp of the parsley-garlic butter (depending on the size of the shrimp) in the center of each shrimp. Slide the pan under the broiler and broil (grill) until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
  • 5. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter or individual plates, pour any drippings from the pan over the shrimp, and serve with plenty of napkins and a plate for the shells.

GARLIC AND PARSLEY HERB BUTTER

Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1 1/2 times the amount called for.
