Asked in Cooking Techniques, Parsley
How do you cook parsley?
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.
Step 2
Choose curly or flat leaf parsley. The flat leaf has more
flavor. It's sometimes called "Italian" leaf.
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.
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.
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.
Asked in Parsley, Basil
Can you use parsley instead of basil?
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.

Asked in Parsley
How do you dry parsley?
Step 1
Wash the parsley thoroughly and drain off the excess water in a
colander. Shake off as much water as possible, then gently pat the
parsley dry with paper towels or dish towels.
Step 2
Bunch the parsley loosely and place it inside a brown paper bag.
Fold the top of the bag over so that it closes but does not crush
the parsley. Put this bag in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Allow the parsley to dry in the refrigerator for about a month.
At cold temperatures, the herbs will still dry nicely but they will
retain the greatest amount of their original color and flavor.
Step 4
When the parsley is dry and ready to use, just roll the leaves
back and forth between your fingers to crush them up and sprinkle
them in or on dishes. Store the unused portion in the same paper
bag in the refrigerator until completely consumed

Asked in Parsley
How do you identify the type of parsley plant in your garden?
The types of parsley I'm familiar with are the Italian or French
parsley with its flat leaves that look a bit like celery leaves,
and the 'normal' curled parsley with its dense finely cut and
curled leaves. The Italian parsley is more strongly flavored than
the curled, and grows taller when mature.
Take a look at the Related Link under the blue box at the left for
a photo of the two main types.
Asked in Parsley
Can I grow a parsley plant from dried parsley flakes?
No,the parsley that is dried comes from the leaves of the
plant,but you need the seeds to grow new plants.The seed stalk
comes up above the plant in an umbrella shape.Commercial parsley
would never be allowed to grow to this stage anyway,so it would be
impossible to grow new plants from any parsley leaves,dried or
fresh.
Asked in Parsley
What part of the plant does parsley come from?
Parsley is the leaf and stem of the plant with the same name.

tastier.
Asked in Parsley, Coriander
What is the distinction between coriander and parsley?
Coriander is actually part of the parsley family. Its leaves
(technically called cilantro) have a stronger, more distinctive
flavor that can dominate a dish (as opposed to plain, or Italian
parsley, that is more mild). For many, it's an acquired taste --
some people feel it tastes like soap. In addition, coriander seeds
(really the mature, dried fruit) are used as a separate spice
(tasting nothing like the leaves), generally ground and served in
Middle Eastern dishes along with spices like Cumin.
