Are you always frustrated in trying to prolong the life of parsley just so you can use it on different recipes before it finally dies on your fridge? I always am! In fact, I even tried to put it on a container with water just so I could prolong its life… but to no avail. tsk

Anyway, I’m sharing a solution that I’ve watched from the heaven sent Martha when she guested Eleonora Scarpetta to cook Chicken Cacciatori. Here’s How:

1. Get the freshest parsley you can find in the market.
2. Wash carefully and dry with paper towel.
3. Place on top of paper towels and wait for a while to let it air dry. Remember that the parsley needs to be very dry before putting it in the oven.
   
4. Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celcius for 10 minutes.
5. Spread a baking sheet on top of the oven tray and place the parsley on top.
6. Place the tray inside the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the parsley is crispy.
7. Once done, get the tray and place the parsley on a strainer.
8. Crush the parsley with your hands.
   

Honestly, the entire process is not easy but like Martha said, having parsley within your reach is just like having gold in your kitchen and I totally agree!
