Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Remove stalks from 1 bunch parsley.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Boil a pan of salted water, put parsley leaves in for just 30 seconds.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

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.

Drain and dry leaves in a strainer by pressing them down in it.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Finish removing water by putting leaves on absorbant paper, and squeezing gently.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Put parsley in a blender, add salt and pepper, 1 lemon juice, 6 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

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.

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
