Best Caper Parsley Sauce Recipes

SALSA VERDE (CAPER AND PARSLEY SAUCE)

Steps:

• If using capers packed in salt, in a small bowl soak in water to cover by 2 inches for 15 minutes and drain. In a food processor combine all ingredients except vinegar and finely chop. Salsa verde may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salsa verde to room temperature before proceeding. Just before serving, stir in vinegar.

GRILLED EGGPLANT, GRAPE TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD WITH AMAZING BASIL, PARSLEY, AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.) Wash the eggplants if needed and cut off both ends. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, brush both sides with olive oil, and season the cut side with salt and pepper Lay eggplants on the grill cut side down, and cook until you see nice grill marks (about 5-7 minutes.) Turn eggplants and cook about 5 minutes more on the other side, or until eggplant is softened and nicely browned. Remove eggplant to a cutting board to cool. Make the amazing sauce while the eggplants cool. If needed, wash and spin dry the basil and parsley leaves. Slice the garlic cloves, then use a food processor fitted with a steel blade to chop the basil, parsley, and garlic. Add the Dijon, capers, and lemon juice and process until ingredients are well blended; then add the olive oil and process about 30 seconds more. Cut grape tomatoes in half. When eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it into slices about 1 inch thick. Gently combine the eggplant and tomato halves in a bowl and stir in enough sauce to coat the ingredients (about 1/4 cup). Stir in the crumbled Feta and serve salad warm or at room temperature. Even though tomatoes are best when they haven't been refrigerated, this was not bad after it had been the fridge overnight. It didn't last much longer than that though.

PUNGENT PARSLEY AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the bread and vinegar, and toss together. Let sit for 10 minutes, then tear the bread into small pieces.
• Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic. Once it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the herbs to the processor, and pulse several times until contents are finely chopped. Add the bread, capers and egg yolk to the bowl, and turn on the processor for about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides, then turn on again and add the olive oil in a slow stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

QUICK-ROASTED TURKEY WITH PARSLEY-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the turkey on a cutting board, breast side down. Using a sharp pair of kitchen shears, cut out the backbone. Flip the turkey over and open it like a book. Press on the turkey with your hands to flatten and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Drizzle the oil over the turkey, and rub into the skin, then season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, baste with the pan juices, and return to the oven. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make the parsley-caper sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined and still slightly chunky. (The mixture should look heavy on the herbs.)
• Let the turkey rest 30 minutes before carving, then serve with the parsley-caper sauce.

PAN-FRIED SOLE WITH CAPER-PARSLEY SAUCE AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• The sole is the fastest to cook, and the part you want to make certain is hot, so prepare them last. While the rice is sitting after cooking is what I've done.
• Sauce:.
• Puree the parsley, garlic, capers, vinegar, mustard and onion in a blender or food processor.
• Once this reaches a smooth consistency, slowly pour in the oil while continuing to blend.
• This can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for several days. Let it come back to room temperature before serving.
• Cook the wild rice according to the directions to make about 1 & 1/2 cooked cups.
• Fish.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan large enough to hold the fillets side-by-side on high heat.
• Rinse the sole in water, pat mostly dry.
• Lightly flour each side.
• Quickly fry the sole, 1-2 minutes per side.
• Put half the rice on each plate, along with a sole fillet and drizzle with sauce.
