Steps:
- Remove most of the stalks, and then finely chop your parsley.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a mid to low heat. Once the butter is melted add the flour.
- Stir the flour in, until you have a thick paste or roux. Then cook for a few minutes stirring all the time. Cook the roux thoroughly. Otherwise, the sauce may taste of flour.
- Gradually start to add the milk, a little at a time, stirring it in well to make a smooth paste after each addition. As the paste turns to a sauce, you can add more milk each time.
- Bring to a simmer for a few minutes so the sauce thickens. Keep stirring all the time. Make sure you scrape the sides and bottom of the pan where the sauce will thicken faster, to ensure an even consistency and avoid burning.
- Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and season with pepper and salt to taste. If you are using mustard, lemon or cream, add these at this stage.
- The sauce will keep warm in the pan for 15-20 minutes. If you need to leave it for longer, place a circle of buttered parchment or greaseproof paper on the top, to stop a skin forming.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant parsley for the best flavor. Look for leaves that are deep green and free of blemishes.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but it will have a less intense flavor. Use about 1/3 of the amount of dried parsley as you would fresh parsley.
- Use a variety of herbs to add depth of flavor to your sauce. Some good options include basil, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme.
- If you are using a blender to make your sauce, be sure to blend it until it is smooth. A chunky sauce will not be as appealing.
- Taste your sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
- Serve your parsley sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. It will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Parsley sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
