Big bunches of parsley...?
Why do they only sell parsley in bunches that are so big an average family wouldn't use it in a year?
I always buy these big bunches, use what the recipe calls for, usually a quarter cup or so, and end up throwing the rest away.
Any good ideas for the rest of the parsley?
Answers:
You can always garnish all your pasta dishes and salads with it. There's also recipes out there for parsley pesto, and an excellent one on epicurious.com for hummus with parsley oil.
My old store used to *give* one bunch of parsley away, totally free! Now it's $.80 a bunch, so I planted my own.
