Sweet Parsley Dressing Recipes

MASHED WHITE AND SWEET POTATOES WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water. Generously season the water with salt. Add the bay leaves and place over high heat. Cover, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to smash with a fork, 25 to 35 minutes. Drain the potatoes and discard the bay leaves. Return the potatoes to the pot and add the heavy cream, sour cream and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Smash with a potato masher until smooth. Add the thyme, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Place the sweet potato puree in a pot over medium-high heat. Cover and heat until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• When ready to serve, mound a third of the white potatoes in the center of a serving bowl. Next, mound a third of the sweet potatoes on top of the white potatoes. Repeat this process, alternating between the vegetables, to make white and orange circles. Swirl together to create a marbled effect showing both colors.
• In a small pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Combine the butter and parsley. Pour over the potatoes and serve immediately.

CLASSIC THANKSGIVING DRESSING WITH PARSLEY, SAGE AND THYME

Steps:

• Spread bread cubes in a single layer on two large sheet pans and let dry for a few hours or overnight. Adjust oven racks to lower- and upper-middle positions. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake bread until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery; saute until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix bread, vegetables and remaining ingredients. Turn into a greased 3-quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until steamy, 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crusty, 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

LEMON PARSLEY SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• If you have some preserved lemons on hand, take 1/4 of one, rinse off the pulp, and mince the peel.
• Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or put them in a jar and shake to blend. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too zingy for you, feel free to add more olive oil to soften the flavor. A bit more salt will help temper the acid, too.
• Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, for up to one week.
