Parsley
Parsley is a leafy herb with a fresh, lightly peppery flavor. Flat-leaf and curly types differ in texture but both can season food.
Caribbean uses
It can finish fish, potatoes and vegetable dishes or join garlic in a green sauce. Add near service when you want its fresh aroma rather than a long-cooked herbal note.
Preparation and storage
Wash thoroughly, dry and chop with a sharp knife. Use tender stems in sauces and reserve coarse stems for a strained broth.

About 120–220 ml

Method
- Blend the prepared main ingredient with lime, water and garlic until finely chopped.
