Lemon And Parsley Oil Recipes

PARSLEY OIL

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath, set aside. Pick 2 tablespoons of parsley leaves; wrap in damp paper towel, and refrigerate. Add remaining parsley leaves to boiling water; cook until bright green, about 20 seconds. Drain, and transfer to ice bath to stop cooking.
• Transfer parsley to a food processor, and process until pureed. Transfer puree into a double thickness of cheesecloth; squeeze out all juice into a small bowl. Discard leaves. Add olive oil to parsley juice; season with salt. Store oil in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

LEMON-AND-PARSLEY OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the parsley and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain and dry the parsley well. Place in a food processor with 5 tablespoons of the olive oil. Process until a thick puree forms, stopping several times to scrape down sides of bowl. Scrape into a clean glass jar and and pour in 2 cups of the olive oil. Add the lemon zest, shake well and store in a cool place for 1 to 2 days.
• Strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil through a coffee filter to dampen the filter. Fit the filter inside the rim of a clean glass jar. Pour some of the oil into the filter and let it drip into the jar. Continue pouring and letting the oil drip until all has passed through the filter; this will take several hours. Stored in the refrigerator, the oil will keep up to a month.

LEMON PARSLEY SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• If you have some preserved lemons on hand, take 1/4 of one, rinse off the pulp, and mince the peel.
• Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or put them in a jar and shake to blend. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too zingy for you, feel free to add more olive oil to soften the flavor. A bit more salt will help temper the acid, too.
• Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, for up to one week.

Add the lemon juice and some salt and pepper and toss again.
