Review: Again… Another erronious scan from the local Dominick’s checkout lane… My receipt said cilantro, but what I got was most certainly parsley. Someday I will get to the bottom of the mystery: Is Dominick’s saving precious bytes in their register system by grouping similarly priced items or is this an actual error. I wonder if the Straight Dope would figure this out for me? Gosh, what would the illustration next to the column look like? Probably a bezitted register jockey (my counterperson was acne free and quite pleasant, for the record) surrounded by leafy greens with a confused look on his face.
Anyway, I never thought of parsley as a particularly flavorful spice. It’s always been that little finishing touch on the side of your Salisbury steak that no one eats. The green merit badge that makes it seem as if you ordered a juicy T-Bone. It wasn’t until I had flat-leaf parsley in a Chinese dish that I realized that this subtle wonder could actually add flavor in addition to decoration.
Parsley adds a earthiness and a vague mint flavor to almost anything you mix it with (including my fantastic vinaigrette). Be sure to chop it small to let the full flavor out.
