White Parsley Sauce


Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes

INGREDIENTS
  • 25g butter
  • 25g plain flour
  • 650ml milk
  • salt and white pepper
  • 2 TBSP parsley leaves (finely chopped)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan.
  2. Stir in the flour (roux) and cook for 1-2 minutes (the roux should be a wet-paste consistency).
  3. Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk small batches at a time, beating the mixture constantly to form a sauce. Once all of the milk is added return to the hob and bring to the boil. If you feel your sauce needs to be thickened, simply mix 1 TSP cornflour and 1 TSP water in a glass and stir, then pour this into your sauce as it simmers. Stir constantly.
  4. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and white pepper.
  5. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Smokey Sweet Potato Fries

Prep time: 7 minutes Cooking time:   6-8 minutes per batch INGREDIENTS 2 lbs sweet potatoes cut into thin fries 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 cup cornstarch 3/4 cup water. Vegetable oil for your deep fat fryer INSTRUCTION Heat your deep fat fryer to 190C. Cut your potatoes into thin fries. Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cornstarch and water . Dip the fries into the cornstarch/water mix to thoroughly coat then allow the residue to drip off them. Move them to the fryer, you may need to do this in two batches as you don't want to overfill the fryer in case they all stick together. Fry each batch for 6-8 minutes until crispy, stirring them when needed to avoid them sticking together. After each batch is done, place them on kitchen towel and dust them with the paprika mix. Enjoy!! :)
