There are many delicious recipes you can make with an abundance of fresh parsley! Here are a few ideas:
1. Chimichurri sauce: This is a classic Argentine sauce that is made with fresh parsley, garlic, vinegar, and oil. It's delicious on grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
2. Tabbouleh: This Middle Eastern salad is traditionally made with parsley, bulgur wheat, tomatoes, cucumber, and mint. It's refreshing and healthy, and makes a great side dish.
3. Pesto: While traditional pesto is made with basil, you can easily make a parsley-based pesto by blending parsley, garlic, nuts (such as walnuts or pine nuts), olive oil, and Parmesan cheese in a food processor.
4. Parsley soup: This may sound unusual, but parsley soup is actually quite tasty! You can make a simple soup by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil, adding chopped parsley, and then simmering with vegetable or chicken broth until the flavors meld together.
5. Parsley salad: Make a salad with fresh parsley, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Dress it with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil and lemon juice, and add some crumbled feta cheese if you like.
6. Herb butter: Mix chopped parsley with softened butter, garlic, and lemon juice, and use it as a spread for bread or as a topping for grilled meats or vegetables.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. With a little creativity, you can use up that extra parsley in no time!
