Brioad Leafed Parsley - got loads of it - what can I use it for

(15 Posts)
My husband planted some parsley - well actually quite a lot of it - it is the broad leaf variety. We also have the curly variety - which I use in soups (I usually put it into the freezer and keep until the winter). We have never had this type before and don't know if I can use it in soup and if not what can I use it for. Any advice much appreciated.
oh and the medieval (?) use - chew raw as a natural breath freshener wink grin
really easy flat leaf parsley recipe
penne pasta
jar of tuna in olive oil (the nice stuff,.. not tinned in brine)
red onions
parsley
lemons
olive oil.
cook your pasta
drain the tuna, keep the oil and mix with lemon juice, salt, pepper.
slice the red onion thinly, add to tuna... pick off the parsley leaves, chop slightly, mix into tuna.
drain pasta, stir in tuna mix.
There's no exact measurements to this, make to taste, but I use a lot of lemon and loads of parsley.
The kids also love it smile
Mmmm, salsa verde.
Tabouleh is the best use of flat-leaf parsley that I know.

Bulghar wheat, soaked and drained really well. Loads of parsley and a smaller amount of mint. Red onion. Lemon juice. Lots of s&p.

We always have flat-leaf parsely, can't stand the curly stuff. It's lovely as a salad leaf in its own right but we get through tons of it as a general seasoning ie. in pasta sauces, risottos, etc. Delish!

Chorizo, chickpea and parsley salad with red onion and tomatoes; tabouleh; salsa verde (parsley, mint, dijon mustard, anchovies, capers, lemon juice) for having with any kind of meat or fish.

Great with gently fried mushrooms and S & P
German potato soup.
Boil floury potatoes in well-salted water, strain, retaining water, and put potatoes through a sieve.
Season with pepper, more salt if required, and lots of butter and chopped parsley. Thin with some of the water if needed.
Traditionally served with thick jam pancakes on the side.

Beanie, you're just being greedy having that twice!
