Parsley stalks are often included in a chef's bouquet garnish, a bundle of herbs used to flavor soups, stocks, brines, and sauces. The leaves are often used as a garnish or added at the end of a soup for a fresh, natural flavor. Parsley tolerates cooking better than the curly variety, so it is often preferred when used in hot dish recipes. Add fresh sprigs to stocks and sauces; use only the stems in a light-colored sauce to prevent the leaves from staining the dish. Chop flat-leaf parsley and add to tabbouleh or mix with rice and dill for stuffed grape leaves. Use parsley in dressings, sauces, coleslaw, and potato dishes.
