    20 Best Parsley Recipes

    Published: Jun 10, 2020 · Modified: Jan 18, 2023 by Sabrina Currie · This post may contain affiliate links.

    I'm Bringing Parsley Back!

    Parsley is common. Maybe too common? Sometimes it is shrugged aside as just a garnish and a passe one at that, but parsley got popular for a reason. It's easy to grow, adds delicious brightness to meals without an overpowering flavour and is good for you too. I've rounded up some of the best parsley recipes and I'm on a mission to make parsley cool again!

    How To Use Parsley

    Parsley is a workhorse ingredient. In addition to the recipes below, use it to add freshness to French inspired or seafood recipes. Parsley is distinctive in middle eastern cuisine (tabboulehs and falafels) and plays a big role in south american dishes (chimichurrie and marinades) too. Pop parsley and garlic into butter to smear on toast or a charred steak. Blitz it in the food processor with garlic, olive oil and other herbs for a green sauce or save it for the winter by dehydrating or freezing it.

    Enjoy, my friends, and if you like this herb round up, check out my posts with the best Lavender Recipes and Mint Recipes. Sharing is caring, I would love for you to share with your gardening and foodie friends <3
