Preparation
- Step 1
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan set over medium heat, and when it foams, add the diced jalapeño.
- Step 2
Continue cooking, swirling the mixture occasionally and stirring with a spoon to prevent the milk solids from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the butter has turned brown and gives off a toasted, nutty aroma, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly before tasting and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately with steamed clams, or as a sauce for sautéed fish.

Fabulous on grilled swordfish. Not sure you need quite as much butter. Would also double the jalapeno.
Terrific on crab cakes. Started out on medium low, knowing how easy it is to burn butter. At 5 min., had not yet browned, so I turned induction range to medium. Because the mix cooked longer than described, the bits of jalapeno were slightly chewy little gems. I think I'd prefer it this way. As it cooled, the brown bits tended to collect in the bottom of the bowl, and I wanted to use it as a compound butter, so I just kept stirring it. Worked great. Half cup butter, 3" long pepper.
Can you make this in advance and reheat? I'd love to have a small jar of this in my frig like I keep bacon fat.
So very disappointing. Even though I followed the other reviewers’s suggestion and doubled the jalapeno. Needed so much salt just to taste like snything.
