Fried Sage Garnish

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   When the oil is hot so that drops of water sizzle when sprinkled into the oil, add the sage leaves. Fry for about 15 seconds, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon or tongs. (Don't let the leaves brown, or they'll become bitter.).

3. 3

   Transfer the leaves onto a paper towel-lined plate. The leaves will become crisp as they cool. Sprinkle lightly with fine-textured salt.

4. 4

   *The fried sage will keep for up to 2 days in a tightly closed container at room temperature. *.
