Parsley Powered Tabouli
As a kid I remember parsley being this little green sprig I picked off my food before eating. The one exception was during Passover (a Jewish holiday commemorating the escape from slavery), when large plates were heaped with this twig, passed around the table to dip in salt water, and then eaten.

For some reason when my mother was describing a dinner she attend where she was served Beef Bourguignon it made me think of Stroganoff. Not just any, but mom’s in particular. She made this dish for us as kids and it always felt fancy and tasted great. I hadn’t thought about this dish until this…
