Peanut Free Herb Persillade
Bright, garlicky, and impossibly fresh, this classic French herb condiment is one of those simple preparations that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Flat-leaf parsley is chopped until it forms a coarse, vivid green rubble, then brought together with minced garlic, lemon zest, and good olive oil into something that is far greater than the sum of its parts. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end lifts the whole thing and keeps the flavors sharp and clean. It comes together on a cutting board in minutes with no cooking required, which makes it an effortless way to finish grilled meats, roasted vegetables, soups, or a simple piece of crusty bread. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, so there is no label-reading anxiety — just honest, whole-food cooking. Keep a small jar of this in the fridge and you will find yourself reaching for it constantly throughout the week.

6 servings
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, tightly packed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the parsley leaves on a cutting board until the pieces are uniform and about 1/8 inch — the mixture should look like a coarse, bright-green rubble rather than a paste.
- 2
Add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the parsley and chop everything together briefly until the garlic is evenly distributed through the herbs.
