Apricots are very good for your body and as a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they should be a regular part of your diet. They are however commonly seen as only being used in sweet dishes or eaten as snacks. These three examples of savory dishes have apricots at their center and are absolutely delicious.

Apricot And Feta Quinoa Salad

Combine some cooked quinoa with small bits of fresh apricots, feta cheese, fresh mint leaves, and some pine nuts for a delicious and healthy salad. This salad is boosted by a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with a squeeze of lemon juice for sharpness. The apricots will add a vibrant color as well as a tangy sweetness that makes this salad extra special.

Lamb Tagine With Apricots

A tagine is an aromatic Moroccan stew that often slow-cooks vegetables with meat. Create a lamb tagine that is rich with flavor by incorporating apricots with your onions, chickpeas and a Moroccan-influenced spice mix with cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Apricots will add a sweetness to your tagine that is nicely balanced by the lamb and cumin. Serve with bread or couscous to absorb the liquid and enjoy!

Apricot Chutney For Grilled Fish

This apricot chutney has a hint of spice and will pair great with grilled fish. To make your chutney, simmer diced fresh apricots with chili flakes, ginger, red onion, and a bit of apple cider vinegar. Reduce down and blend, depending on how thick you like your chutney. The chutney can be applied to the fish before you grill it, or spread across as a topping after it has cooked. Either way, the sweetness will be complemented by the umami flavor of your grilled fish and is a great use of apricots in your savory cooking.

Brown butter (also known as beurre noisette in France, where it first became popular) is a deceptively versatile and useful addition to your book of kitchen skills. When used as the base of a delicious, savory sauce for meat and/or vegetables, it adds a delicate, rich, and nutty flavor to your meals that you won’t soon forget.

So, let’s go ahead and learn how to make it!

What You’ll Need

  • Unsalted butter
  • A non-stick pan

That’s it! Those are literally the only two things that you’ll need in order to make brown butter. It couldn’t be any easier, could it? The only thing that you should be careful about is using unsalted butter instead of salted butter. The final result will be much tastier and richer if you use butter without added salt.

How to Make Brown Butter

Decide how much butter you’ll need to use, and once you’ve done so, transfer it to a pan on medium heat. The butter will begin to melt, and you’ll start to see bubbles and foam form.

The color of the butter will also begin to change from a light yellow to a toasty brown as it continues to cook. After a few minutes, you’ll also start to see chunks of brown sediment forming and settling at the bottom of the pan. This is your sign that the butter is finished cooking.

The final step that you’ll want to do is to transfer the liquid melted brown butter into a bowl. Try to avoid transferring the sediment (consisting of milk solids) into the bowl, and then discard it.

Your brown butter is now ready to be used in the recipe of your choice!
