Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    **To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
  • tip 2
    Superb, elegant and extremely simple! The browned butter flavor will knock your socks off. You don’t want to waste even a tiny drop of the butter, so serve the fish and vegetables over angel hair pasta to soak it up.
