Step 1.
Pick and finely chop the leaves from the parsley stalks.
Step 2.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over a medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk into a loose paste. Cook the paste over a medium heat, constantly stirring, for 1-2 mins until you get a golden colour and biscuity aroma. The goal here is to just cook out the raw flour.
Step 3.
Slowly add the milk a little at a time and whisk constantly until you have a smooth sauce and all the milk is incorporated.
Step 4.
Turn the heat off and whisk in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt to taste. Finish by stirring through the chopped parsley. The sauce should be glossy and pourable. If it is too thick, just add a little warm water until you achieve the desired consistency.
Step 5.
Serve warm. If making in advance, keep the sauce in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to a month. Defrost overnight in the fridge and gently reheat over a low heat.
