I planted several strawberry plants in a disused (I thought) part of my vege garden. Unfortunately the strawberries are now over-run by parsley. I am slowly uncovering them, but does anyone have a recipe for using up parsley? I'd hate to let it go to waste. Thanks.

just freeze it Rachel, just pop it into bags and it will freeze fine. Or I have dried the parsley out, and then stored it in tins. Either works well

Hi Rachel
You can freeze parsley for when you need it later. I add tons of it to homemade hummus, tabbouli (sp) omelettes, Country Potato soup (can give you the recipe if you want - my kids love it), on anything that has melted cheese on the top etc. Can be hidden in all sorts of things like burgers (vego ones in my house though) homemade sausages (ditto), bolognaise sauce (ditto )
HTH
Robyn (PPP)

Actually Rachel I should have signed my message "PPPPPPP" (particularly perplexing parsley problem purple power princess)

You do realise that the poor people reading this particular post will be perplexed when pondering this preposterous personage?

ok - you win that round Rachel!!! (but did I help out with the parsley problem?)

Robyn (particularly put-out parsley-posting purple power princess!)

What about making Parsley Pesto? It is delicious and you can make it the same way as if you are making Basil Pesto.

How about selling bunches of it to your local fish shop? Or to a nursing home etc

Naaa, those poor people perusing previous, preposterous passage, perfectly presient, perplexing posthumous parsley problem, perse, probably preparing for propitious, auspicious outcome presented posthaste by pals on FL's.

well Kerry we are totally outclassed and I will henceforth be reluctant to use my nickname (Purple Power Princess) on the other forum that Rachel and I belong to it. Slinking off, feeling very inferior in my alliteration skills

Robyn

Oh my gosh Kerry - I'm not even going to TRY to outdo that one!

Rachel (Laughing her head off & bowing to your greatness!)

:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I have just found the parsley pesto threads from February & August 2004. I think I'll get out the kitchen whizz! Thanks for your help (and the giggles!).

Robyn, we were totally outclassed because you started us off Alliteration skills eh? I will have to look that one up. Must be French

Kerry - I meant that Rachel and I were totally outclassed by your perspicacious ponderisms!!

Ah sooo...perpetually ponderous, pompous and pissed perhaps. What the fishcake...is a ponderism? Rhymes with origami.

I'm going back to school. Did you read about going to zillions of school this morning in a certain newspaper, having an effect on you in later life...Well, I went to 19 of the buggers..

B4 anyone rips me up for putting ponderous and newspaper in one sentence, I humbly oopsolopigse.

Love me and my bootles.
No no no, not asking youse all to love muy (bugger, that's my 1/19th bit of Splashish or Italish coming out) bootles...just...
Love and warm fuzzies as Lisa would say.. Biig hugs Lisa!!

Coming glass!! don't evaporate on me!!!

I'm laughing so hard the tears are rolling down my che... face!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm - wonder how Kerry's head was this morning. Pounding away nicely, methinks. Wonder if there is a hangover cure anywhere using parsley!!

PS.. No u r winding me up you old babe

Am definitely teetotalling type - but "sensitive"??? nah - just don't like the taste, you old lush. Oops - didn't mean to say that out loud . But you can't wipe me off your Christmas list because I'm always useful as a sober driver. Well SOMEBODY has to stay sane and sensible (or staid and stupefyingly stolid!)
And just so that this thread isn't completely off-topic - ta-daaaaaa..................

"The ancient Greeks apparently believed that if you wore a garland of parsley on your head while you were out on the razzle you wouldn't get a hangover in the morning. That seems highly unlikely, but -- like you, I imagine -- I haven't tried it. Many of the places I frequent would almost certainly refuse to serve a customer with a garland of parsley on his head, even a regular."

Or another parsley potion for partying p***heads

Bloody Mary Soup
(a little hair of the dog??)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In medieval times, the Medical School of Salerno was already recommending the hair of the dog:
Si nocturna tibi noceat potatio vini
Hoc tu mane bibas iterum, et fuerit medicina
or
If an evening of wine does you in,
More the next morning will be medicine.
This recipe should help out up to 8 people you find sleeping on your floor in the morning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1/3 cup parsley leaves
3 garlic cloves
1 onion, quartered
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and quartered
1 46-ounce can of tomato juice
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 and 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1 cup vodka
Garnish: 1 green pepper and 1 cucumber, both peeled, seeded, and chopped fine.
In a blender or food processor, chop the parsley, then drop in the garlic and onion. Add tomatoes, 1/2 cup of tomato juice, and the coriander. Stir into the rest of the tomato juice, with the worcestershire sauce, cayenne, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. When ready to serve, stir in vodka, ladle into bowls, and garnish with green pepper and cucumber. Serve with a side dish of ice packs.

That sounds absolutely scrumptious but I wouldn't waste it on anyone found lying around my house next morning. Stale bread and water for them. I'd certainly serve it as a soup before a meal. Bet it's nicer than gazpacho even and one cup of vodka shared with 8 people wouldn't even give you lift off, (okay perhaps a little vrrroom vrrroooom??) so nothing too extreme there and it is such a tonic in its own right. Yum yum yum!!
