How To Clean & Store Parsley
If your herb garden is overflowing with abundance, simple appetizers & salads that require minimal effort are the perfect way to make good use of them for wonderful fresh flavor. Parsley grows well in containers & it may be snipped just before it is needed in recipes or refrigerated longer term. Cut several bunches & store loosely in a plastic bag. Parsley wilts relatively quickly if wrapped in a paper towel.
The Technique
Once you are ready to use it, hold the parsley stems under running water to throughly rinse the leaves. Grab a tightly packed handful of the herb & place it on a cutting board. Run a chef knife through the leaves until the desired size is reached. If it’s chopped very finely, gently blot a paper towel over the surface to remove some of the excessive color in an effort to keep final dishes looking bright.
