Dried Parsley
Dried parsley can add an extra sizzle to your dish in terms of colour and flavour. Dried parsley is one of the most popular herbs used in American and English kitchens and it takes 12 pounds of fresh Parsley to yield 1 pound of dried. Parsley, whether dried or fresh, should always be added to your cooking at the very last minute – like right before plating, in order to maintain its optimum flavour. This is especially true when using dried Parsley, as the taste is very, very subtle but certainly not without flavour. Another advantage to using dried parsley instead of fresh is when it comes to storing. At its best, fresh parsley will only keep for about two weeks in your refrigerator meanwhile, dried parsley is good for approximately one year when it is properly stored in a cool, dark location. Parsley pairs nicely with fish, egg, lemon, tomato and grain dishes. Also works well in combination with basil, chilli, oregano, pepper, rosemary, sumac and tarragon.
