Default Parsley

With shrooms my friend brought tons of other. Bell peppers, green onions, spinach and parsley. The parsley is one bunch. I use parsley in soups but it is usually a dehy. What can I do special with fresh before it decays? I trimmed it out and have 2 cups not flattened or better.

She paid .39 lb for the nicest bell peppers ever. Somewhere in NJ. Im in PA..

You can lay out the parsley on a tray and warm the oven to dry it.
Fresh can be mixed with a lot of thins, add to cooked veggies, mixed
with burgers, potatoes.

The peppers here are coming from Mexico right now. NJ won't be
producing for a few months yet.

That's cheap for bell peppers! I add parsley to everything. Salads such as
tuna, potato, pasta, even green salads. Can add to pretty much any
casserole, gravy, pasta sauce. Really good for parsleyed potatoes. Use
whatever kind you have. Either canned, or boiled fresh ones. Waxy potatoes
work best IMO. If they are large, cut them in chunks. Once cooked/heated
through, drain them and add butter, snipped parsley, and pepper. Can also
snip on top of a baked potato. Also nice with roasted or boiled carrots.

Put sprigs in a salad. Salad greens don't have to be 100% lettuce.

Make tabouli. You can make tabouli with roasted
cauliflower instead of bulgur, which might be easier for you to find.

You're entitled to your opinion. In my view, parsley is
underrated.

If it wasn't for the mint I would make tabouli. I really like mint,
just not in those quantities. I just want to find a bit of mint
occasionally, not have a mouthful every bite. To me it is like having
every bite full of something like rosemary.

I agree. Especially if you grow your own parsley. Straight from the
garden it is a real taste treat.

True, and it is possible to use too much parsley.

Leave the mint out or reduce it. My husband doesn't like it,
so I use just a teeny bit and mince it very finely.

"Parsley" is what got me started on "organic".

Regular flat Italian parsley and reg cilantro taste almost the same in
the produce section of most sprmkts. It was "organic parsley" that got
me started into "organic".

I'm sure most of you know the story, as I've repeated it often enough.
Try the "organic" offerings (if yer fave store has 'em), as organic is
NOT always the best choice.

Several years ago, I made a potato salad and used way too much
dill. I used dried vs fresh and I got the equivalent wrong. OMG,
it was awful. I haven't used any dill ever since. lol

Before the fresh parsley rots, freeze it or dehydrate it. No need
to waste it.

I can always tell the difference between parsley and cilantro
at the grocery store. Either your grocery store sucks, or your
taste buds require greater stimulation than mine.

I like fresh dill, but not dried. My favorite use for fresh dill
is to chop some up and add it when I marinate leftover grilled
salmon in a lemon vinaigrette.

Sure. There are jillions of tabouli recipes without mint.

Authentic? Who cares.

Now we can debate whether tabouli is a parsley salad with bulgur
or a bulgur salad with parsley.

Stay away from the Baltic countries. Dill is often the main ingredient
in dishes. Where some people might garnish boiled potatoes with a bit of
dill they would toss a big bunch of it into the cooking water.

Flat leaf parsley and cilantro look a lot alike. I pick it and and
smell it. The smell is quite different.

I always grow lots of dill in the garden. We usually grill salmon at
least once a week and like to put some fresh dill on top while it is
cooking.

Agree!

I've actually corrected my produce guy when he had them wrong. I
"taste" 'em. I went "organic" when flat leaf parsley was "10X" more
flavorful than regular parsley.

I am not successful with growing dill -- mostly because of the way our
season goes. Cold and then blazing hot. What I do is buy the bunch
that is available at my supermarket in late summer. I fold it in
half, and first roll up in plastic wrap and then in foil and the
freeze. When I want some dill I grab the frozen stuff and mince what
I want off of the fronds and then re-wrap and put it back in the
freezer. Much more satisfactory than the dried stuff.

I do grow my own. I give most of it away... it is just so unneeded,
does very little in the way of changing the flavor

There is always the 3rd option... he lives in an area when the people
are idiots and take stuff of the shelf just to touch it and then just
put it back where ever and they get intermingled

Anybody who can't tell cilantro from flat-leaf parsley just
isn't trying. The leaves are noticeably different to anyone
who isn't completely oblivious.

I have no problem growing it. We have sandy loam, winter temperatures
that rarely go below -0 F and summers in the 80s. My only problem is
that the stuff I grow looks different from the stuff I buy. It is a
paler green and much less lush looking. It tastes the same. I have to
remember to trim it back frequently to stop it from bolting.

I noticed. The people who put the stuff back in the wrong
place might not be the idiots who can't tell one from the other.
They might just be lazy jerks.

It's the responsibility of the buyer to make sure he's getting
what he intended, regardless of how badly stocked something it.

Is that in your constitution?

Thanks for all suggestions. I am going with the Persian herb frittata found in Janet's link.
Freezing was also in mind as suggested.

Side note on dill. We grow (it grows) beautifully. My pickle recipe made it into Taste of Home hardcover cookbook. Nothing special but here it is.

Half tsp mckormic pickle spice
1 cup vinegar
1 third cup kosher salt
1 half cup sugar
2 q water
Ton of trimmed dill
Half ton of garlic
Kirbys cut in 4 or 6 pcs

You know the rest. Simmer 20, cool for 10, dump into jars with kirbys in them.

My 24 hour pickles.

Sounds like a fertilizer issue to me.
I think it's higher nitrogen count that promotes leaf growth?

Looked it up:

"Nitrogen regulates the growth of stems and leafy green foliage.
Feeding your plants with a fertilizer high in nitrogen promotes
rapid growth in leaves and stems. The plants that benefit the
most from nitrogen are grasses, herbs and leafy vegetables."

The streets would be rather empty if that was enforced.

Your atheism is a belief, so you're a believer.

Oh so incorrect.... Atheism is in fact a lack of belief.

What you are saying the same as having no belief in santa claus is a
belief

We're like ants that spend their entire lives in a bucket. But we all
have theories about what's outside of the bucket and why the bucket is
there in the first place. All those theories are beliefs.

Atheism is just a different belief but killerboy won't admit he is no
different than millions of others. What is important to him is calling
attention to himself.
