Cooking With Parsley

Cook with either curly-leaved or flat-leafed parsley, though the latter has the best flavor. Parsley is good for flavoring stews, soups, and casseroles and adds zest to any salad. Parsley is wonderful mixed with melted butter and drizzled over mashed potatoes or boiled "new" potatoes. As with most fresh herbs, its flavor is best when it is added to the sauce or the soup at the last minute. Make an excellent sauce for cold beef, shellfish, and pasta by pureeing a bunch of parsley with garlic, olive oil, and ricotta cheese in a food processor or blender.

Parsley’s taste appeal is world-wide. The Japanese deep fry it in tempura batter. Greeks mix large amounts of it with tomato sauce to create the unique moussaka flavoring. Spaniards use parsley as the prime ingredient in salsa verde, and the English make parsley jelly.
