Whenever I heard that word 'sage' I always thought pork sausage. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that I would like it any other way, that is until I discovered sage butter. I think about sage butter when I am not doing anything, it just pops into my head - just like that - sage butter. I try and think of ways to incorporate sage butter into everything, sweet things, salty things, crispy things, basically anything, because it sounds so good to say. For example: did you get enough sage butter? See, it gets addictive.
I had those luau ribs to deal with so I ran them through the food grinder with the addition of some fresh sage and I ended up with this perfect concoction.
I made some pasta dough and put spoons of the meat mix ready for raviolis.
I cooked up some sage butter, see how smooth that sounds. Sage butter. I let this brown and then I strained it leaving only golden, clarified - sage butter.
I made ready the plates heavily drizzled with -sage butter.
I loaded them up with tomatoes, because they are in season,
and ate faster than a deer in heat!

mmmm- never heard of it but I have some outside and will have to go and try it!
damn you are on a roll...
This made me so hungry. I will have to try!
Doggy--this is ridiculously gorgeous. Great food plating and photos! You're moving into cookbook territory :)
(I do have some crazy stories about a kid named Sage, though. That's one spice I do not use)
Looks gorgeous, I make several different herb butters and freeze them. Then whenever i need them I just have to cut a slice for whatever dish I'm doing. Tarragon with mint and blue cheese is one of my favourites, melting on a hot juicy steak.....
starr: ....and you should
snugs: like butta'
mimi: put it on any pasta
tavolini: thanks a ton! time to let "sage" go....I did
queenie: all those various herb butters has got my mind a spinning
yesyes!!
speaking of sage, it's pork sausage!!! I love it!
but its in grocery stores in Japan have a lot of additives.
I know it's not good for health.
but I often buy it:)
by the way these dishes on your pictures look very gooood:)
wow looks colorful and delicious... Wonderful presentation they are tempting...
do you have a pasta machine? mmm! It looks so good. I could easily have! managed a plate of that
Man, you are really hitting the high notes with this! I love sage, found to add it a little later if possible, as it does cook out some of the punch in long roasting.. Hunted in Gillette, Wyoming for antelope, and found they eat a lot of sage- which you have to "soak out" as it makes the meat so strong..
ayamlin: pork sausage does have a lot of additives, make your own its easy
ramya: thank you, I wish there was a way to give everyone a taste
anette: it would be easy to manage two plates believe me - yes I have an manual and electric pasta machines
buff: wow thats something that the meat gets inundated with the sage...I know that sage too, if its the same one as New Mexico, its a sagebrush and its strong...people use it burnt in bundles as smudge sticks, its supposed to purify as it burns...
you bitch....
ok, I will have to try this. I ahve sage in the garden and didn't know what to do with it. Looks good....and I bet it smells even better!
xoxoxox
Sage for me means fall and winter... I just love the smell of it especially on acorn squash.
beth: now thats some tranny mouth....you need to try it its delicious
michelle ann: acorn squash ravioli sounds great....thanks for the idea
There you go again!!!!!!!!
Sage Butter...it rolls off the tongue. Damn...this looks good...you are one talented man!
LOL--ate faster than a deer in heat? Where do you come up with this stuff?
mandi: I am like britney 'whoops I did it again'
harmony: thanks, and repeat 'sage butter'
the BD: Early farm life perhaps?
I adore sage butter [obviously I use Earth Balance.] Sage is great in risotto, too.
There's a real gelateria near me (owner is from Milano) that makes Sage-Pineapple Sorbetto. Sounds odd, but it's really wonderful. I never thought to use sage in a sweet dish before. It really tempered the cloy of the pineapple.
I have to say -- that looks fabulous. And it would be a great use for all that sage out in the garden.
You're a hoot, to boot!
what do you know about deers in heat, you perv?
i love sage too.
urban vegan: crazy about sage, I would love to try that sorbetto...
lo: a hoot? LOL
TK: I know enough...why?
Ok, Dog I promise the cookies are worth going to have a look at today!!! I hope you understand that...???????
I use my meat grinder all the time grind cheaper cuts of raw meat but never thought to use it on cooked leftovers. I love this idea and I know I can get my son to help fill ravoli.
I swear to God I'm salivating right now. This really did it to me! I think it even made me horney! How is that possible!!!!!!
I didn't even know there was such a thing as sage butter! What a sheltered life I lead. I'm going to Whole Foods in Nashville and see what else I'm missing. I've been there many times but obviously didn't branch out enough.
I always think of chicken when I hear sage. I put a little in my flour when I fry chicken. Your ravioli looks really good!
