Best Sunnys Bammy Buns With Tropical Butter Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a bowl, add the yogurt, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until everything is one color. Scoop into a large resealable bag and add the chicken. Leave on the counter at room temperature for 2 hours.
• To cook the chicken: In a large pan with straight sides on medium-high heat, add the butter and then the chicken chunks from the bag, discarding the marinade. Cook, turning, until some parts are browned but most are still white, about 8 minutes.
• For the sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, ginger and garlic to the pan. Things should be bubbly and hot. Stir to marry everything and when the pan smells like garlic and ginger, add the heavy cream and stir again until everything is the same color. Partially cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
• For serving: Stir in the cilantro and serve over rice with another sprinkle of cilantro.

BUTTERFLIED CORNISH HENS WITH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place hens on a sheet tray fitted with a cooling rack in the refrigerator to dry skin out for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small pan over medium heat, melt butter with sage, zest, salt and pepper. Remove hens from refrigerator. Preheat 2 large saute pans over medium heat, lightly coat with oil. Season hens with salt and pepper and sear, skin side down, in the pans. Sear until skin caramelizes and turns golden brown and crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Flip birds over, and baste with sage butter. Sprinkle tops with chopped bacon and place in preheated oven to finish cooking, 25 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

SUNNY'S CHAR-GRILLED OYSTERS WITH GREEN GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the butter: In a food processor, add the butter, garlic, lemon zest and juice, scallions, parsley, Italian seasoning, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend all until smooth, then taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Make the breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley.
• Assemble and grill: Preheat a grill to 600 degrees F.
• Arrange the oysters in their half shells on the back of an upside-down baking rack. Add a heaping teaspoon of the butter to each. Sprinkle each with a bit of the breadcrumb mixture. Place the rack on the grill over the direct heat and cook until the oysters are firm and the breadcrumbs are lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.

SUNNY'S GRILLED CORN WITH CAJUN TRINITY BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat a grill to 400 degrees F.
• In a small food processor add the butter, Cajun seasoning, celery, onion and bell pepper.
• Pull the corn husks open, then remove the silk and secure the husks open in a bundle with soaked twine or a piece of husk ripped from each ear.
• Place the corn over the direct heat of the grill and cook, rotating occasionally, until the corn chars, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Brush or smear with butter and cook over the indirect heat while basting and turning for a few more minutes. Serve warm with a spritz of lemon.

SUNNY'S EASY GLAZED CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 10-inch round cake pan with butter.
• For the filling: In a bowl, add the brown sugar, pecans, diced apple, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined.
• In a small pot, melt the 2 tablespoons butter with a pinch of salt. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Flatten the puff pastry and roll with a rolling pin to even out and seal the perforations, if any. Brush the butter all over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border at one of the shorter ends. Sprinkle the apple-cinnamon mixture evenly over the pastry sheet, being careful to leave that 1-inch border. Starting from the end furthest from the edge without any filling, begin to tightly roll the pastry. Tuck and press as you go, keeping the log as even as possible. When the edge is reached, roll the pastry onto itself and press firmly, even pinching, to seal. Using a serrated knife, trim the edges and gently cut 6 equal slices from each log. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet to make 12 pieces total.
• Place the slices spiral side up in the prepared cake pan. Start around the edges and fill in the center. Bake until the pastry is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the glaze: In a small pot, add the butter and melt over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice and begin whisking in the powdered sugar in 1/4 cup increments. Continue adding and whisking between additions until the glaze thickens. Season with a pinch of salt, then remove from the heat.
• Remove the buns from the oven and pour the glaze over the top. Let rest about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

BAMMIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cassava and salt. Add the water, a little at a time, until a dough forms. Divide dough into 6 pieces. With your hands, flatten each piece until it is about 6-inches in diameter.
• Grease a medium skillet with a coating of vegetable oil and put over medium heat. Place one piece of dough in the skillet. When the bammie's edge starts to pull away from the side of the pan, after about 5 minutes, flatten the dough again with a spatula and turn over. Cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown
• Repeat with the remaining five pieces of dough, adding more oil to the skillet when needed.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO WEDGES WITH MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Place the wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Place on the grill, cooking on all sides until cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Remove and drizzle or brush with a bit of maple butter, sprinkle with salt and parsley to finish.
• In a bowl, blend the butter, maple syrup and allspice together until light and smooth. Refrigerate and use as a spread or melt and drizzle over pancakes, grilled sweet potatoes or popcorn.

BUTTERY BANANAS
