Parsley 15g

Recipes & Uses

Why Keep Dried Parsley in the Pantry?

Mild enough for almost anything
It adds herbal freshness without taking over the dish.

Great for colour
A quick sprinkle can make creamy sauces, potatoes and pasta look more finished.

Useful when fresh Parsley isn't available
No washing, chopping or leftover bunch wilting in the fridge.

Works in both cooking and garnishing
Add it early so it rehydrates, or sprinkle it on at the end.

Pairs easily with other herbs
Use alongside chives, dill, thyme, oregano or basil.

What Does Dried Parsley Taste Like?

Dried Parsley has a mild, fresh, slightly grassy and gently herbaceous flavour.

It is much less assertive than herbs such as:

Rosemary
Oregano
Sage

which makes it ideal when you want herbal flavour without dramatically changing the identity of the dish.

Parsley works particularly well with:

Garlic
Butter
Lemon
Potatoes
Cream sauces
Chicken

How to Use Parsley

Soups & Stews

Add Dried Parsley to:

Chicken soup
Vegetable soup
Bean soup
Beef stew

during cooking.

The liquid allows the herb to rehydrate and spread through the dish.

Mashed Potatoes

Stir into mashed potatoes with butter and seasoning.

The Parsley adds both colour and a gentle herbal note.

Roast Potatoes

Toss with Parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt and black pepper.

Cream Sauces

Stir into:

White sauce
Cream sauce
Pan gravy

for subtle flavour and a little green colour.

Pasta

Sprinkle over pasta dishes before serving or stir into the sauce.

Rice

Add to cooked rice with butter, lemon or garlic for an easy herb finish.

Add Parsley During Cooking

Dried Parsley benefits from a little moisture.

When adding it to:

Soups
Sauces
Stews

put it in early enough that the leaves can soften and rehydrate.

This gives you a more integrated flavour and texture.

Use It as a Garnish Too

Parsley is equally useful at the end.

Sprinkle over:

Pasta
Casseroles
Potatoes
Eggs
Rice

immediately before serving.

The flavour remains mild, but the small green leaves can make a finished dish look much fresher and more complete.

Dried Parsley vs Fresh Parsley

Choose Dried Parsley when you want:

• Pantry convenience
• Soups and sauces
• Long cooking
• Stuffings and meatballs
• No chopping
• A herb that's always available

Choose Fresh Parsley when you want:

• Stronger fresh aroma
• Bright green garnish
• Fresh salads
• Chimichurri
• Large quantities of parsley as a main ingredient

Dried Parsley isn't meant to imitate fresh parsley perfectly.

Its advantage is convenience, long storage and easy everyday use.

Parsley & Garlic — a Combination Worth Keeping in Mind

Garlic and Parsley work together in countless savoury dishes.

Try combining them in:

Garlic butter
Roast potatoes
Pasta
Chicken marinades
Garlic bread

The garlic provides strong savoury flavour.

Parsley lifts it with mild herbal freshness.

Try It This Way

For easy garlic-Parsley potatoes:

Boil or roast potatoes.

Toss while warm with:

Butter or olive oil
Parsley
Garlic
Salt
Black Pepper

Finish with lemon if desired.

Simple ingredients make the mild Parsley flavour easy to appreciate.

Make Garlic-Parsley Butter

Combine softened butter with:

Parsley
Garlic
Salt
Black Pepper

Use over:

It's one of the simplest ways to turn a basic dried herb into something you can use across several meals.

Add It to Meatballs

Beef mince
Pork mince
Chicken mince

along with breadcrumbs, garlic and seasoning.

Parsley adds a light herbal note without competing with the meat or sauce.

It works equally well in meatloaf and stuffing mixtures.

Parsley
Garlic
