Parsley Pesto (Useful For Many Dishes!)

Parsley Pesto (Useful For Many Dishes!)


1. Very fresh flatleaf parsley gives the best results. Do not use "old" parsley which has been in your fridge for a while. Fresh from the garden is best!

2. Using a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until a puree forms. It can be as fine or as grainy as you prefer. A blender is easiest to use for this smallish quantity.

3. Taste for seasoning. The thickness will depend on how much parsley has been used, but the olive oil should be enough to make a thick sauce. Start with 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice and taste: I did think the 3rd tablespoon was needed to add enough flavour.

4. Serve in spoonfuls on fish fillets or chicken breasts which have been lightly seasoned. Use with other ingredients such a hardboiled eggs, as a sandwich spread or filling, or on toast, and topped with fried or poached eggs.
