Do you use parsley? If so do you like the taste or is it more of a visual garnish? (lemmy.world)

I actually really like parsley. I find a lot of people just think it has no flavor or is only used as a garnish. I put it in almost everything I make for a little color, and I like the taste. I think a lot of it is because I have the cilantro soap gene, so I have to substitute cilantro and I usually use parsley. Of course, I use rosemary, thyme, basil, etc, but for a garnish, and a finisher, parsley is my go to.

It most certainly changes dishes, it has a fresh, green, crunchy quality to it that adds texture to dishes that don't have these qualities, especially dishes that are cooked for a long time. We should all pay more attention to texture.

Parsley is an ingredient, not a spice, and used as such it has a fairly strong taste of leaf and it is slightly astringent. Middle Eastern folks use parsley by the handful, not teaspoons. It needs to be finely minced because it is so tough to chew.

Also dried parsley is completely useless. If you want it stored, frozen is the way to go.

Also have the soapy gene ๐Ÿ˜’

A friend from Syria recently made me a salad with parsley as the main ingredient and some bulgur. It was pretty good!
