Meals w/fresh oregano & parsley?

Question

I'm making up a meal list for this week, and one of the recipes I'm making calls for fresh parsley and oregano. Any other recipes that people can think of where I can use the leftover herbs?

I hate having to buy the bunches of fresh herbs then having to throw a lot out because I don't use it all.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can add fresh parsley to sauces, salads, soups, stuffing, even meatballs and meatloaf. Same with the oregano. Fatoosh salad is made with parsley. Or make tabouleh. You could probably just dry any remaining oregano. Or even freeze it.

Answer 2

Ingredients
3 tbsp light olive oil
8 small chicken thighs, skin on, bones removed
salt
freshly ground black pepper
pinch good quality oregano
For the parsley salad
1 unwaxed lemon, juice and zest only
2 tbsp very finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp baby capers
2 tbsp cornichons, finely chopped
large handful of flatleaf parsley
To serve
baby new potatoes



Method
1. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan. Season the chicken well and sprinkle over the oregano.
2. Place the thighs in the pan, skin side down and cook on a medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Do not touch or turn over during this cooking time.
3. Meanwhile make the dressing for the parsley salad. Mix the lemon juice and zest with the sun-dried tomatoes. Whisk in the olive oil, add the capers and cornichons, season to taste and reserve until you are ready to serve.
4. Turn the chicken over, and cook for a final 1-2 minutes. The skin should be golden and crisp. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the thighs to rest.
5. Pour the dressing into the parsley and toss well. Divide the chicken among four plates and top with a pile of the parsley salad.
6. Serve with some baby new potatoes.

Answer 3

Get your favorite bread recipe, then add the chopped fresh herbs to the dough while you are mixing it. Delicious.

Fresh herbs also go great on pizza, homemade or delivered.

They are also great chopped up on any dish as an appealing garnish.

Answer 4

You can definitely use it in a great italian tomato sauce, or chop some fresh garlic and herbs, add a quarter cup of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, toss all in a blender, and it makes a great bread dip to go along with your tomato sauce. (You can roast the cloves of garlic for a few minutes in the oven if you want a sweeter taste)

Answer 5

Buy fresh parsley; you can garnish anything w/ it, make tabbouleh, or add to a salad. As for oregano, use dry.

Answer 6

this is oregano. And right this is an old Italian hint (from an unique old Italian i understand!) --- upload a pinch of cinnamon on your spaghetti sauce! playstation do no longer prepare dinner spaghetti sauce on intense warmth --- this is meant to easily simmer, bubble slightly, and combine all those sturdy flavors!

Answer 7

Do everything everybody says - if you have any left, chop it all together and place into ice cube trays with enough water to top then off. Then use later as needed (yes, pop them out when frozen and put then in a freezer bag) in soups, stews, sauces - just as good!!
