Parsley And Vinegar Sauce Recipes

PARSLEY VINEGAR GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine parsley, garlic and salt to taste in a small bowl and stir in vinegar. Add water a tablespoon at a time and taste; acidity should be tolerable and mixture quite thin.
• Let the sauce rest for 10 to 30 minutes before serving. Stir again right before serving. Use the same day: this sauce does not keep well, even when refrigerated.

PARSLEY AND VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the parsley in a food processor, along with the oil, garlic, a healthy pinch of salt and about 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. With the machine on, drizzle the vinegar through the feed tube until the parsley is pureed.
• Add a tablespoon of water and pulse the machine on and off a couple of times; taste. The mixture should taste sharp, but not overpoweringly so. If it seems too sharp, add a little more water; the texture will be quite loose, something like thick orange juice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Pass the sauce at the table. Spoon it over grilled, broiled or roasted steaks, pork or chicken.

CHIMICHURRI (ARGENTINEAN PARSLEY AND GARLIC SAUCE)

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt on garlic and mash to form a paste. This can be done in a mortar and pestle or on a cutting board with the side of a knife.
• In a bowl, combine garlic paste, parsley, water, onion, red pepper, oregano, paprika, bay leaf, and pepper; let sit 30 minutes.
• Add vinegar to bowl and let sit another 30 minutes.
• Add oil, cover, and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to develop.

PUNGENT PARSLEY AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the bread and vinegar, and toss together. Let sit for 10 minutes, then tear the bread into small pieces.
• Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic. Once it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the herbs to the processor, and pulse several times until contents are finely chopped. Add the bread, capers and egg yolk to the bowl, and turn on the processor for about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides, then turn on again and add the olive oil in a slow stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
