parsley

origin: England

Useful in virtually any savoury dish, parsley adds a vibrant colour and flavour used on its own or in conjunction with other herbs and spices. Parsley dries and rehydrates very effectively so can be added to any moist or warm dish either during cooking or just before serving.

uses: Stir into sauces, soups or stews. Add a pinch to mashed potato, rice or couscous just before serving. Mix with softened butter with garlic, lemon and a pinch of salt to make a useful flavoured butter.
