Parsley Sauce. An old fashioned sauce for today
An old fashioned English Sauce. Perfect for today
1 x Cup flat leaf parsley - coarsley chopped and pressed
2 x Tablespoons plain flour
30g x Butter
1 x Cup milk
1 x Teaspoon English Mustard - optional
1 x Teaspoon dried rosemary
2 x Grinds of black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt optional to your taste and diet
Add the butter to a medium size saucepan and melt the butter without browning.
Then stir in the rosemery, flour and mustard (if using) and stir to give a thick roux. Take care not to burn.
Next whisk in the milk, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to making sure there are no lumps. If you feel the sauce is too thick add a little more milk to get your preferred consistancy.
Now stir in the parsley and add the black pepper and if using, salt. You are now ready to serve.
Important: Make sure that when you are adding the milk you stir to remove any lumps.
Comments: For ease in the kitchen you can hold the sauce by keeping warm for around 10 - 15 minutes.
