For the crust: Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it smells nutty and brown bits form on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Don't to tempted to crank up the heat to get there faster; you'll just end up with burned butter.

Fun Karnal (Beef and Broccoli)
Instead of ordering out Chinese food, do it yourself. Great with white rice or sticky rice (jasmine rice). Family recipe! Substitute beef with 1/2-inch pieces chicken breast prepared the same as the beef above or 2 cups cooked shrimp prepared as above.
Barbadian Plain Cake
This Barbadian plain cake is a simple pound cake that's good with a cup of tea. My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados in about 1906. She read this recipe to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day.
Barley Black Bean Burgers
These veggie burgers will firm up as they cook on the grill. Great with all the trimmings.
