PARSLEY |
VEGETABLES
- KNOW YOUR VEG |
 |

Parsley
is the most commonly used herb in European and American
cooking. It has Mediterranean origins and is related
to celery. There are two main types of parsley, flat
leaf and curly.

How To Use Parsley
Parsley
is often used as a garnish rather than a cooking
ingredient. Flat leaf parsley is often used with
fish, both as a white sauce or as a topping with
breadcrumbs, and is also one of the ingredients
of the Middle Eastern dish Taboulleh. Curly parsley
has a more decorative appearance and is most often
used as a garnish.
How To Prepare Parsley
Wash
before use. Finely chop flat leaf parsley before
adding to dishes. Curly leaf parsley can be cut
or used whole.
How To Cook Parsley
Stir
flat leaf parsley into white sauce before serving,
or mix with butter and stir into cooked potatoes
and vegetables. To ensure it keeps its taste, always
add parsley to dishes towards the end of cooking.
Parlsey is also used in a bouquet garni for salads,
soups and stews.
How To Store Parsley
Refrigerate
for freshness.
