Preparation
- Step 1
Cut the parsley into long sprigs of equal length. Be sure there is no surface moisture on them or they will spit nastily when they hit the hot oil.
- Step 2
Using a clean coping saw or other small, fine saw, cut the bread sticks into ¾-inch lengths. Keep cutting until you have about twice as many sections as you have plates to garnish.
- Step 3
Holding a ¼-inch twist drill with your fingers, carefully drill out the center of each bread section so that it becomes a miniature "neckerchief slide."
- Step 4
Carefully insert the stems of a few parsley sprigs in each "slide" using as many sprigs as you need to make a snug-fitting bouquet of them.
- Step 5
To fry, simply drop these bouquets, a few at a time, into hot (370-degree) oil for about 10 seconds. Remove, drain, salt and serve as a garnish.
