Savoury Butters and Quick Sauces
By Rosemay50
SAVOURY BUTTERS
Butters are quick accompaniments to serve with meat, poultry and seafood. There is no sauce to curdle or to make at the last minute, because these butter can be made a week ahead and refrigerated, or frozen for 2 months. Spoon the from a bowl, roll into logs and slice, or pipe into swirls. When placed on the hot meat they will melt almost immediately and for a sauce. Each recipe below serves 6.

Hi Gail They do look mouthwatering don't they.
I've had them in restaurants too and never thought to make my own at home. But the do add flavour to a steak and are delicious.
Enjoy and keep warm
Thank you for bookmarking and the vote
Did someone call "Dinner time" - looks very good
I've never met a man who didn't enjoy a good steak.
These look great! My imagination only calls for garlic butter on a steak.. I should try something like this for a change. Thanks.
Well darn your hub, now I'm hungry for a thick slice of toast drenched in one of these butter sauces.
Sigh. Yeah, you did good.
Hi Mary, do you know that is all I used to use too. These are much more falvoursome.
You will be the envy of your guests.
Thank you
Hi Beth. Nice to meet you.
Oh lordy I hope I didn't spoil a diet with these. Ejoy your toast... :-)
Mmm sounds tasty. And quick - which I like! I'll certainly whip one of these out when I next cook for my mother, she always cleans me up in the kitchen!
Rosemay, The images are so good. How good will they taste. Yummy! Take care.
With warm wishes,

I think the tomato olive would be great with pasta.

I want to try the coriander one with lamb chops. Thanks for a useful way to improve the flavors of meat.
Hi Ronnie The Coriander one is my personal favourite and will go nice with lamb chops.
These do make a meal just that little bit extra special.
Thank you
Will have to try the savory butter recipes. They look so mouth watering and the photo is wonderful!
Will try a couple of these!
Wow Rosemay you have some amazing recipes and my bookmarked spot is overflowing.
However I am not complaining -lol- keep them coming.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi Eiddwen
These butters just amke all the difference to a meal and make them extra special.
Thank you for the bookmark,I know what you mean, its like having your own personal library. Lol
I know you will enjoy them.
Take care and enjoy your weekend
Delicious! I am always confused when the recipe calls for salted or unsalted . . . and then finally a chef (Rachel Ray, I think) said -- but I like salty with sweet . . . said it doesn't matter . . .
Hi Sally Thanks for popping in,
BTW my email account was hacked so you may have got a strange email, but I can't access it any more.
Wow! Just what I was looking for - it's so nice when you find what you are searching for. Great recipes. Printing to try a few of them very soon. Well done!
Aw I'm pleased to be of help then Kim. I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you for visiting and for the follow.
These all look wonderful, and so easy! I've often made herb butters, especially in the spring when chives, tarragon, oregano, thyme, and mint are freshly sprouting, mostly to use as spreads for toasted breads. But now I can see how versatile the butter spreads are: instant sauces in and of themselves! And the mayo selections are awesome. I love a tartar sauce and usually buy it, but not the next time. Thanks for these super time-saving, fool-proof, and tasty ideas.
Hi Sally
Yes the herb butters make great easy and quick sauces, real time savers. The tartar sauce is much nicer than the bought ones.
I'm pleased you found this useful and I know you'll enjoy them.

Boy do those steaks and butters look good! I would never think to make these but have had some in restaurants and they really do taste delicious. Will bookmark for when I have company. Thanks for the great ideas. Voted up and useful. I think they need a button for mouthwatering!
