you’ve got the option to do a lot with a bounty of fresh parsley.
Parsley oil is easy enough to freeze in ice cube trays, so it’s ready when you are.
Leftovers will remain good for approximately 4 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To reheat, transfer the food back into a skillet and warm it over medium-low heat.
It’s best to avoid microwaving, as the cabbage can quickly become mushy.
However, if you choose to microwave, do so slowly and in short bursts.
