FOR THE SMOKED SAGE BUTTER:

2-3 sprigs of dried whole sage

1 tsp unsalted butter, room temperature

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a small metal (or glass) insert, create a tinfoil bed for the sage to rest in. Place butter adjacent to it.

2. Quickly, and with extreme caution, take a lighter to the sage until small flames appear. In a quick movement, blow out the active flames and cover the insert tightly with plastic wrap to ensure the smoke stays trapped within. Keep butter covered for 20-30 minutes.
