| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Parsley: Pick over the parsley, removing the large stalks so that neat sprigs remain. Wash it clean and shake it dry in a cloth. |
| 2 | Heat Oil: Heat the oil in a deep pan to 190°C/375°F degrees. |
| 3 | Fry Parsley: Put the parsley in a frying basket and hold it in the oil for 2 minutes. Ensure the parsley becomes crispy but not burnt. |
| 4 | Drain and Dry: Drain the fried parsley well and then place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Transfer the fried parsley to a baking sheet and place it in a low heat oven until it becomes quite dry, crisp, and brittle. |
| 5 | Serve: Serve the fried parsley over fried, baked, or broiled white fish, such as trout, sole, or whiting, to add a flavorful and crunchy garnish. |
