Green sauce: how to chop it
The green sauce ingredients should not be blended or mixed. There are several reasons for this:- The sauce should retain a somewhat firm texture, and not become mush.
- The heat released by food processors alters the organoleptic properties of the ingredients.
- Metal blades oxidize parsley, which will take on an unpleasant dark color and a slightly metallic taste.
