Herbed Brown Butter Sauce

I first made this for Bongo & Capacci’s Sweet Potato Ravioli but I realized I will probably use this somewhere along the way in another dish, or even simply as a dip for bread.

The ingredients:

½ tsp.  Basil

½ tsp.  Oregano

½ tsp. Rosemary

½ tsp.  Thyme

½ tsp. – 1 tsp. kosher salt ( I used a bit more when accompanied by the sweetness of the ravioli)

½ tsp.  Black pepper

1 Stick unsalted butter

2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil.

1 tbsp. Minced onion

1 tbsp. Minced garlic

Combine basil, oreganos, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a mortar & pestle and grind until in it is a fine powder.  Next, lightly oil a small frying pan and add the garlic and onion, cook over med-low heat for about 4 minutes and then add the butter, olive oil.  Let this cook for about 5 minutes until the butter browns.
