A Post About Parsley

As we are working our way through the recipes in The New Best Recipe, parsley has been an ever present ingredient. So, we are really getting some use out of the parsley mill my mother gave Zach for his birthday this past fall. I must admit when Zach received this gadget, I thought, great another piece of kitchen equipment that will clutter the shelves and go unused. I was so wrong. It works really great for mincing parsley. You just put the parsley in the top, secure the lid and then turn the handle. Cleanup is easy too; just give it a rinse.
















Another word on parsley. When you buy a bunch of parsley, but perhaps don't need all of it at once, just cut the bottoms of the stems and put the parsley in a cup of water in the fridge. It'll stay fresher longer. We do it with all our bunch herbs, like cilantro.
