Parsley—that brilliant green herb—can play a supporting role sprinkled as a finishing touch to a pasta dish like linguine with clam sauce, or it can be the star in dishes like garlic and parsley shoestring fries. It can take the place of basil for a flavorful pesto or make a nice cilantro substitute, for people who dislike that particular herb. Adding fresh parsley to almost any dish gives food a bright, flavorful boost that the dried version of the herb can’t provide. One bunch of parsley from the grocery store can often last several dishes, so you’ll want to clean and store parsley properly. Odds are you may not be using the proper parsley chopping method, so here’s how to cut parsley like a pro. Follow the easy steps in this video and guide for a fast, efficient way to prep parsley the next time you cook―and to store whatever you don’t use for maximum freshness.
