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.

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