So I have taken some of my classics and given them a new twist, reducing the amount of flour, salt and time to make some my dishes. this recipe is easy and can be prepared in less them 30 minutes.

  • 1/2 cup of beef stock
  • 2 teaspoons of salted butter, cubed
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
