FRIED PARSLEY, for Garnishing

Ingredients

• Parsley
• hot lard or clarified dripping

Instructions

1. Gather some young parsley;
2. wash, pick, and dry it thoroughly in a cloth;
3. put it into the wire basket of which we have given an engraving, and hold it in boiling lard or dripping for a minute or two.
4. Directly it is done, lift out the basket, and let it stand before the fire, that the parsley may become thoroughly crisp; and the quicker it is fried the better.
5. Should the kitchen not be furnished with the above article, throw the parsley into the frying-pan, and when crisp, lift it out with a slice, dry it before the fire, and when thoroughly crisp, it will be ready for use.
