How to Make Parsley Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. A squeeze of lemon juice adds a delightful brightness.
