Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 3 stems fresh parsley

  • 3 slices carrot (optional)

  • 3 slices onion (optional)

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 tablespoons Roux

  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh curly-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Place milk, parsley stems, carrot, and onion in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper; let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Remove saucepan from heat and strain; discard solids. Return milk to saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk in roux until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; season with salt and pepper. Add chopped parsley and reduce heat to very low; simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
