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 heat milk without it catching on the bottom of the pan
Very often when you heat milk in a saucepan, it forms at the bottom of the pan (especially if the milk boiled) a sticky and brown bottom of milk that burned and attached. To avoid this here is a very simple and very effective tip.

Gratin Dauphinois
Gratin Dauphinois
This recipe is a bit sensitive for people from Dauphiné (a French area around the city of Grenoble), many of them are sure to have the "true" recipe. Here is the version of the famous French chef Michel Guérard. The most interesting thing about gratin Dauphinois, is that it has a delicate hint of cheesy flavour, without cheese in it.

  • 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.

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