The deep fried parsley is meant to be sprinkle around the croquettes and to be used as a side to dip the croquettes in. Use fresh green parsley for the best results. if you wonder the parsley is deep fried it is simply that you don t serve a fresh herbs with a deep dried item. so the rule is always deep fried with deep fried to deep fry the parsley use curly parsley not flat leaves parsley. to deep fry just throw a small handful of parsley worth at a time in the oil. be careful the oil does a brief foamy reaction due to the water contain in the parsley so don t put too much at a time.
