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.

Steps:
- Gently melt the butter in a saucepan (non-stick is easier). Don't let it sizzle.
- Add the flour, salt, and white pepper (black pepper at a push, but you'll be able to see black specks in the sauce).
- Stir, over gentle heat, with a wooden spoon for a few minutes to let the flour cook and to amalgamate everything. If you don't cook it long enough at this stage, the sauce will taste floury.
- Add a little milk to the flour and butter mix (you have now made a roux) and stir again. When it is amalgamated, add a little more milk and mix again. Add more milk, little by little, until you have a thickish creamy sauce. Cook the sauce for 5 minutes over gentle heat, stirring to stop it sticking. If you get lumps, press them with the wooden spoon against the side of the pan to mash them. If you need to, use a whisk, but be careful not to scratch a non-stick pan. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
- For a richer sauce, add a little hot sauce to a raw egg yolk in a cup, mix well, then reintroduce into the main sauce.
- Add the parsley, stir and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh parsley. Fresh parsley has a much more vibrant flavor than dried parsley, and it will make your sauce taste much better.
- Chop the parsley finely. This will help the parsley to distribute evenly throughout the sauce and prevent it from clumping.
- Use a good quality butter. The butter is one of the main ingredients in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality butter that has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should only be simmered for a few minutes, or else it will lose its flavor and become thick and gloppy.
- Serve the sauce immediately. This sauce is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat.
Conclusion:
Creamy parsley sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, fish, pasta, and vegetables. It's also a great way to add some extra flavor to your favorite recipes. If you're looking for a new sauce to try, I highly recommend giving creamy parsley sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
