Persillade is a flavorful French garnish made with parsley and garlic. Think of it as an all-purpose condiment that’s easy to whip up and perfect for adding a fresh twist to potatoes, meats, and vegetables. It’s as healthy as it is versatile!

Here, we added sautéed mushrooms from mushroom hunting in Berbezit, France. The persillade made the dish! 

Ingredients

Parsley

Garlic

Instructions

To make persillade, finely chop parsley and garlic. That's it! 
But if you're in a hurry, like I often am, a rough chop works just fine — it’s still delicious.
For extra speed, I’ll sometimes use a mini food processor to mince everything really quickly.
Add persillade to anything you like — it's even terrific on sandwiches.

Keep fresh parsley and garlic on hand so you can whip this up when you like.

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."
