Homemade Parsley Sauce

Notes

  • This homemade sauce can be stored for about a day or two and can be reheated if required. 
  • Do not freeze the parsley sauce as it will affect its creamy texture and the sauce may separate.
  • If you find your sauce is thick, then add some milk to it and if you find it to be thin, then add a mixture of water and flour to it. Again bring it to a boil to get the desired texture. 
  • Cover the sauce with a cling film to avoid skin formation on it.
  • Add some lemon juice into the sauce to give some tanginess to it.
