"Goes with everything" Parsley Sauce

If your garden patch is anything like mine at the moment, it's overgrown with parsley. Trouble is, it's usually saved as a garnish left on the side of the plate. Parsley is however extremely good for us. Full of vitamins C, K, A, B12, and folic acid. So it's great for upping your anti-oxidant intake, and supports a healthy heart [Source].

I've been making this parsley sauce for a while now, and have found it pairs nicely with so many things. A few of my favourite ways are:

  • Steak
  • BBQ or Roasted Chicken
  • Scrambled Eggs, mixed in or served on. 
  • Mixed with mayonaise for salad dressings
  • Stirred through pasta or potatoes
Best of all it's easy to make and stores in the fridge for up to a week. 

Ingredients (makes 1/2 cup):
  • 1 1/2 cups of packed parsley leaves, washed, stalks removed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil 
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 cloves garlic 
Wash parsley and remove excess stalks. Put into a food processor or using a kitchen whizz stick with remaining ingredients. Mix for a few minutes till well combined. 
Leave to sit for at least 30 minutes for flavours to develop before serving.
