Creamed Parsley Recipes

TRADITIONAL ENGLISH PARSLEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Stir in the flour and mustard (if using).
• Stir thoroughly to form a thick paste.
• Cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes more, watching the heat to ensure the paste does not burn. This will cook off the taste of raw flour in the finished sauce.
• Gradually whisk in the milk.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, frequently whisking to make sure there are no lumps. The sauce should be quite thick but still pouring consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk.
• Add the fresh parsley and stir well.
• Season with a good pinch of sea salt and a few black pepper grinds. Taste and add more as needed.
• Keep the sauce warm, on low heat, until needed. If keeping sauce warm for more than 15 minutes, laying a piece of buttered parchment paper on the surface will prevent a skin from forming. If a slight skin does form, whisk thoroughly over heat, and it should disappear.
• Serve and enjoy.
