Typical meals that incorporate parsley include: Fish & fish sauce, egg mayonnaise, cauliflower cheese, feta cheese and olives, salads, meats such as beef and chicken, warm root vegetables. It is also used with other herbs in soups, stews and gravy. Parsley is also a popular garnish due to its vivid green colour.
