PARSLEY
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.
