Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh parsley leaves thoroughly. Remove any tough stems.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them for easier blending.
In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley leaves, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Pulse the mixture until the parsley is finely chopped and the consistency is slightly coarse.
With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture becomes a cohesive paste-like consistency.
Stop the machine and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
Season the condiment with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Blend briefly to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl or airtight container. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
