How to Prepare Parsley
Parsley not only makes food taste good, but also makes it look more appetizing. There are two popular types of parsley: the flat leaved and the curvy leaved. The flat leaved is also known as Italian parsley; this one has a stronger taste and not as bitter as the curvy one.
Steps
-
Buy your parsley. Parsley is normally sold as a bunch. It is best to buy fresh parsley rather than dried parsley. When buying it, make sure that the leaves are fresh and bright green and don't look wilted or yellow.
-
Keep your parsley fresh. When not dried, it should be kept in a plastic bag and sprinkled with water when it appears wilted. It could also be stood upright in a jar with a little water, as long as you clipped the ends.
-
Prepare for washing. Washing parsley is very similar to washing spinach. For this, you need to fill a bowl with cold water and place the parsley in it.
-
Swish the parsley around in the bowl with your hands. Repeat this process with clean water until the water no longer gets dirty after washing the parsley.
-
Chop, cut, or rip the parsley. You can use a knife or kitchen scissors.
- When using a knife, hold the tip of the knife down with your non-dominant hand. Then move your dominant hand up and down the leaves until the desired consistency is achieved.
- When using kitchen scissors, put the parsley in a bowl and keep on snipping with the scissors until it is chopped to the desired consistency.
- You can also rip the parsley, instead of cutting it.
Tips
- Herbs like cilantro are often confused with parsley, but cilantro has a stronger taste compared to the milder one of parsley.
Warnings
- If eaten by certain pregnant or nursing animals, it may dry up their milk.
