Achieving a month-long supply of fresh parsley is entirely possible with the bowl method — a technique favored by chefs for its reliability. Here’s how to ensure a constant stock of this flavorful herb:
Preserving Freshness
Before trying the bowl method, consider these convenient preservation techniques:
Wrapped and Refrigerated:
Wrap the parsley in a damp, unprinted napkin, seal it in an airtight bag, and store it in the fridge. This keeps the leaves intact and flavorful.
Frozen in Olive Oil:
Wash and dry the parsley thoroughly. Chop it finely or use a food processor, then fill ice cube trays with the chopped parsley. Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil into each cube and freeze. This method provides easy access to fresh parsley whenever needed.
