Herb oils add brilliant colour, flavour and fragrance to goat’s cheese, fish dishes and, best of all, prawns or roast chicken.

Ingredients (3)

  • 5 cups (tightly packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves (from about 2 large bunches)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil

Method

  • 1.
    Plunge parsley into a large pan of boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove and plunge immediately into a bowl of cold water filled with ice cubes. Drain, squeeze and dry extremely well in a salad spinner or by patting on paper towel. Roughly chop, then whiz with olive oil in a food processor for 10 seconds. Add vegetable oil and whiz for 1 minute.
  • 2.
    Leave to strain, over a bowl, through dampened muslin or a sieve lined with a paper coffee filter, for 30 minutes. Gather the muslin or filter together and gently squeeze any excess oil into bowl.
  • 3.
    Store the parsley oil in an airtight jar in fridge and use within 5 days, or freeze in ice-cube trays for up to 1 month.
