All Purpose Green Sauce Recipes

ALL-PURPOSE GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place herbs, garlic and pepper in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.
• Add yogurt and purée until smooth. (This may take a minute or so; scrape down the sides of the container as needed.) With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Pulse in lemon zest and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Spoon over grilled or roasted chicken, seafood (especially shrimp and salmon), sausages, steaks, lamb chops and vegetables. Use as a marinade for chicken, lamb or pork; as a dressing for starchy salads with beans, potatoes or grains, or for hearty vegetable salads, like those with cucumbers or blanched and sliced sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve as a dip for crudité or chips. Spread in roast beef, lamb or pork sandwiches.

GREEN BEANS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook until deep golden, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain shallots on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet.
• Add green beans, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to reserved drippings. Cook over medium-high heat, covered, for 2 minutes. Cook, uncovered, until beans are crisp-tender and starting to blister, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes more. Transfer to a platter; keep warm.
• For mushroom sauce, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add mushrooms; cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Add thyme, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook until mushrooms are golden, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes more. Mix in flour; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes more.
• Pour mushroom sauce over beans and top with sauteed shallots and crumbled goat cheese.

THE ONLY GREEN SAUCE YOU NEED

Steps:

• Add the greens, chives, garlic, lemon juice, avocado, olive oil, salt and pepper in a blender and pulse until broken down and easy to dollop with a spoon (adding a tablespoon of water if needed to thin and get the blender going).
• Serve smeared on toast, veggies or cheese sandwiches or drizzled over grilled fish, fried eggs, savory yogurt bowls or roasted vegetables. Or, transfer to a container that just fits and top with a little more oil (to preserve the color) and refrigerate up to 1 week.
