Curly Parsley
(Petroselinum var. crispum)
[Apiaceae]
Parsley is liked for its clean, fresh taste and it is rich in iron and vitamins A & C
It’s used widely in sauces, salads, stuffings and omelettes. It’s good with eggs, fish, lemon, lentils, rice, tomatoes and most vegetables
Sprigs of dark green, deep-fried curly parsley make an excellent garnish for fried fish
It is the most widely cultivated herb in Europe
For use later, fresh parsley can also be chopped and frozen in small containers or in ice-cube trays with a little water
Good for garnishes, curly parsley also gives a light, herbaceous flavour and attractive green colour to mayonnaise and other sauces
Use whole sprigs, pinch off leaves, or chop leaves and/or stems
