What food is parsley used in?

Answer 1

1. Step 1

   Wash parsley thoroughly before using. Let them soak in a dish of water and then stir them to dislodge dirt. Another method is to put the herbs in a colander under a high-pressure spray.

2. Step 2

   Choose curly or flat leaf parsley. The flat leaf has more flavor. It's sometimes called "Italian" leaf.

3. Step 3

   Chop parsley for use in dishes. Use only the stems to add flavor to a sauce if you don't want the green bits of parsley to show.

4. Step 4

   Adding parsley to a dish when it's nearly cooked ensures that the flavor of the herb will remain. Add it too early, and the flavor may evaporate or get lost amidst other flavors.

5. Step 5

   Some meat dishes, like rack of lamb, call for parsley in "persillade," which is basically chopped parsley with garlic (in a 50-50 mixture) and bread crumbs. Use this to coat the meat toward the end of the cooking process.

Answer 2

There are many uses for parsley. It's good to sprinkle alone on meat or mixed with other spices. It's great to sprinkle on baked potatoes or in just about any vegetable dish, and in soups and stews. It can also serve as a garnish to simply make a dish look "pretty". It is mild in flavor but definitely enhances the flavor of just about any dish you use it in. It's good to use during the cooking process or sprinkle on or mix in after the food is cooked.

It also helps eliminate "garlic breath". That is why some restaurants put it on the plate as a garnish.

Answer 3

Marinara Sauce and Meatballs to name a couple.

Answer 4

Parsley's taproot, leaves, and seeds are used medicinally. The leaf is used extensively as a culinary herb and garnish.
