An Excess of Parsley

Recommended Posts

The September issue of Gourmet has a recipe for Creamed Parsley based upon a recipe from Spring Restaurant in Paris that uses 12 cups of parsley. Sounds worth trying for something new and different.

I just found the recipe on Epicurious but there are very few details on how it should be served. Is it a soup? A sauce? A side dish?

1. Tabouli

2. Sundry till crisp, keep in tightly closed glass jar (wife's brother gives us a quart jar like this every year)

3. Get a dyhradrator and load up all 9 trays, save in glass jar.

4. Like someone else said, keep the stems, wrap and keep in freezer for bouquet garni or sache d'espice.

The lead-in paragraph in the magazine, says it is a side dish, as in creamed spinach type.

Edited to add where paragraph was for clarification. Kay

I would make a parsley pesto without the cheese, and freeze it in portions.  When ready to use a portion, that's when the cheese gets added. Great on pasta obviously, but potatoes and green beans as well.

 

I might make an Italian salsa verde - I think it also freezes well...

A childhood comfort food was my grandma's parsley soup. It used her garden flat leaf and was just tons of minced parsley in a roux base that she started with finely minced onion and margarine (a war holdover). Einbren like this  bhttps://www.kitchenproject.com/german/recipes/Suppe/Einebrennsuppe/index.htmDrying parsley to me is the same as pitching it - no real decent taste. I will also tie up bundles and freeze "as-is" to toss in liquidy preps. Imparts flavor subtly. Fish out before serving. If it is flat leaf it works well as a salad green. Tough stems can be frozen for above noted use.

When I saw the title of this thread, the first thing I thought of was the late Bernard Loiseau, the Michelin 3 star chef in Burgundy.  Years ago, I had the pleasure of dining there and had his famous frogs legs with garlic puree and parsely sauce... this is what it looked like:
