Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Green parsley sauce
Remove stalks from 1 bunch parsley.

Stage 2 - 1 min.
Green parsley sauce
Boil a pan of salted water, put parsley leaves in for just 30 seconds.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Green parsley sauce
Remove leaves from the boiling water, and plunge immediately into very cold water.

You just have blanched the parsley, to keep the nice green colour.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Green parsley sauce
Drain and dry leaves in a strainer by pressing them down in it.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Green parsley sauce
Finish removing water by putting leaves on absorbant paper, and squeezing gently.

Stage 6 - 2 min.
Green parsley sauce
Put parsley in a blender, add salt and pepper, 1 lemon juice, 6 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Green parsley sauce
Blend until you get a thick liquid sauce.
Remarks
This sauce can't be kept waiting, otherwise it will loose its great green colour. If you absolutely need to keep it for a while, add a pinch vitamin C before blending.

To make a coulis instead of a sauce, replace olive oil with ice-cold water (or dry white wine), and only add the juice of half a lemon.
Keeping
1 or 2 days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking
How to prevent butter burning during cooking
Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).

  • I'm not sure it's a good idea in freezer, when going back to usual temperature the sauce could be less smooth. Anyway, in the freezer for weeks.

  • May I know how long can this be kept if in chiller and freezer?

  • Hi, yes but only warm, because if too hot parsley will turn to brown
