Who’s there!
Parsley!
Parsley who?
Parsley the sauce please!
Excuse this bad joke, but I just couldn’t resist..
I have to admit that not only have I never made parsley sauce, I never even tried it before. One of my colleagues always says how much she loves it. I had to try it to see what it’s all about.
I see the appeal now, it’s a really delicious, quick and no fuss sauce to make and can be used with ham, fishcakes, baked fish, or even vegetables. We had it simply with baked salmon and green beans.
CLASSIC PARSLEY SAUCE
(adapted from BBC Food)
Tip: Make it just before you need to use it.
Ingredients:
25g butter
25g plain flour
400ml milk
a good handful flat leaf parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan.
-
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, watch the heat to ensure sure the paste does not burn.
-
Gradually stir in the milk to get a smooth sauce. I prefer to use a whisk for that, stirring all the time, bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, stir in chopped parsley, serve it straight away.
