It won't give the same flavor, at all. Parsley is very mild and not very aromatic. You might want to combine it with oregano, thyme and/or marjoram to get more flavor and aroma.

What can replace bazil in a recipe?

It depends what you're making and why you wish to substitute. If you're making pesto, you can do it with parsley. General basil substitutions: You could use arugula (which has a spicy, peppery taste), but if you're substituting due to cost, try parsley, which is cheap. You could use any of those herb-y greens that are also used in salads. Check your produce section for the bagged herb salad to see what's in there. Almost anything in there could be used instead. Basil is a good blood cleanser, though, and very good for you. If possible, I say use it! Ali W.


What can be used as a substitute for parsley?

Parsley is a plain herb, meaning it does not have a strong flavor. The flavor is most like pepper but not nearly as strong. Many recipes call for parsley for the look and not necessarily the flavor. Some possible substitutes would be cilantro, coriander, or basil.

Yes, I'm certain that Italian parsley would not be toomuch different in flavor over regular parsley. Italian parsley is probably has a stronger flavor so just add a little more regular parsley to bring out the flavor; probably another 1/4 of what is needed.
