3. Parsley and Butter Sauce.

Pick some parsley in neat bunches, wash and clear of grit, dry thoroughly in a cloth, chop very fine, and add about two tablespoons to the sauce No. 1. Let it simmer very gently for a few minutes till the parsley is cooked; stir occasionally, that it does not burn or get lumpy.
