My Favorite Food Things - Day #29 - Fat

Put one tablespoon olive oil with one tablespoon butter in a sauté pan. Heat. Add your next ingredients. Cook.

I love this combination of olive oil and butter.

A higher temperature will be reached with the addition of olive oil than with just plain butter – allowing you to reach better sautéing capabilities. The oil will also keep the butter from burning. And the butter, of course, adds a fantastic flavor.

As for the butter, make sure it is unsalted. This allows you to add the desired amount of salt - keeping your dishes from becoming too salty.

Let’s not forget, by cutting the butter with olive oil, you also cut the saturated fat – thus making a healthier choice.
