My new favorite. Parsley pesto. Great for pasta dishes, great for mashed potatoes, great addition to any salad dressing, amazing sandwich flavor booster. Simple to make, as always.
1 big bunch of Italian parsley (I only use Italian, the other one looks pretty, but doesn't have any flavor)
2-3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
salt
Put everything in a food processor bowl, process. Done.
Here is what I used it for so far...
Pasta - add a tbsp to cooked pasta, sprinkle with hot pepper flakes and add some Parmesan (Parmigiano if you'd like) cheese.
Mashed potatoes - a tbsp on top of mashed potatoes, adds a lot of flavor
Chicken - marinade over night or for couple of hours, grill.
Salad - add a tbsp to dressing (
Sandwich - spread a tbsp on one side of bread, great with salami sandwiches
I keep this on the counter, no need to refrigerate. So far, 2 weeks and it still looks like new :) I guess olive oil preserves parsley pretty well.
Enjoy.
