Ingredients

  • 3.5 oz flat-leaf parsley 100 g, weigh only the leaves and the skinny top stems (See note)

Instructions

Parsley paste:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Pick the parsley leaves from the stems and weigh 3.5 oz/ 100 g.3.5 oz flat-leaf parsley/ 100 g
  2. Chop the parsley and the chives roughly. Peel the garlic cloves.3.5 oz chives/ 100 g + 1.1 lb garlic/ 500 g
  3. Blend: Place parsley, chives, garlic, and salt, in a good food processor and blend until you obtain a fine paste. Transfer to small jars.3.5 oz fine sea salt/ 100 g
  4. Store: The jars should keep refrigerated for about 1 year. I prefer to freeze the jars to make sure that the paste remains fresh and tasty.
  5. Uses: When stirring the paste into other dishes, remember that it is very salty and garlicky, so you will have to reduce the required salt and garlic quantities.1. Stir a few teaspoons of it in soups, stews, or egg dishes, like scrambled eggs, omelets, etc.2. Mix 2 teaspoons and olive oil and marinate chicken breasts, steaks, or pork chops.3. Mix 2-3 teaspoons with 250 g/ 2 sticks soft butter to make herb butter.4. Stir 1 teaspoon in salad dressings, either yogurt dressing or vinaigrette.5. Stir a few teaspoons with cream cheese/quark/strained yogurt/feta to make a delicious spread or dip.6. Smear a little bit on bread and toast the slices on the barbecue (pretty salty, but I like it).

Notes

  • Parsley: You will need two very large parsley bunches, preferably flat-leaf parsley but curly parsley is ok, too.
