ReplyDeleteSounds yummy...but what's a knob of butter?
ReplyDeleteHello Linda ... this is a lovely recipe idea and so simple.
ReplyDeleteHow much or what is a knob of butter?
"In some cookbooks or online recipes, you will be instructed to add a "knob of butter." For instance, maybe the recipe is for a piece of grilled meat and at the end you are told to "put a knob of butter on top." This is something you'll get from English and Irish cooks, and for all I know, Scottish, too. "How much is a knob?" you wonder. The answer is you're being much to exact. Cooking isn't like baking. It is about adding enough.
A knob of butter is basically a lump of butter. If a recipe says to add a knob of butter to a pan for sautéing, it usually means to add just enough butter to cover the bottom. Since we usually use sticks of butter here in the states, that may be from one to two tablespoons. Otherwise, it will tend to mean enough to melt nicely over whatever you are adding it to. For a rule of thumb, go for around 12 to 25 grams, or one to two tablespoons of butter. BUT, you really need to judge for yourself. Do you think it needs a little more, or a little less?
In some recipes, you might even see a "large knob" or "small knob" referred to. So, really, that means, just a little butter or a generous dollop. This could be anywhere from one to four tablespoons. A "tiny knob" might be only about 1/2 teaspoon. What you need to understand is that chefs tend to add tons of butter to everything. Especially at the end of cooking. It makes things taste better, richer, and feel better in your mouth. You are not going to mess it up by adding a little too much, especially if the butter is meant to melt.
So, what if a told you to add a knob of butter to a pancake? What I mean is add enough to melt nicely over the pancake. You aren't going to know the exact amount, but generally you'd put on about half a tablespoon, and if you really like it rich, a whole tablespoon."

Hope this helps - when cooking I just slice a small amount - perhaps the size of a walnut - for a knob of butter

Lemon and chicken compliment each other nicely. One of our favorites is a whole chicken roasted with lemon, garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary tucked inside.
ReplyDeleteTem um aspecto muito apetitoso.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

I love chicken with lemon and make a lemon chicken orzo soup often. It had me smiling at the 'knob of butter' but with an English background it's not a mystery to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this yummy recipe.
