Sauted sausages with parsley

Though sausages are a dominant feature in this recipe, parsley enhances the taste. Parsley is a wonderfully nutritious and healing food, it is often under-appreciated. Most people do not realize that it is more useful than just a decorative garnish.
Parsley is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K. It helps in keeping healthy heart and protects against rheumatoid arthritis.




Here are some tips on how to store and use parsley:

Fresh parsley should be kept in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. If the parsley is slightly wilted, either sprinkle it lightly with some water or wash it without completely drying it before storing in the refrigerator.

Fresh parsley should be washed right before using since it is highly fragile. The best way to clean it is just like you would spinach. Place it in a bowl of cold water and swish it around with your hands. This will allow any sand or dirt to dislodge. Remove the leaves from the water, empty the bowl, refill it with clean water and repeat this process until no dirt remains in the water.

If you are making a light colored sauce, use the stems from this variety as opposed to the leaves, so the sauce will take on the flavor of parsley but will not be imparted with its green color.
