In Sri Lanka we have a green called Gotu Kola that is prepared the same way as the parsley sambol. Here in the States, this green is not available so parsley is a great substitute.
1 large bunch of parsley (flat or curly) finely shredded
1 cup finely diced tomatoes ( I like Roma tomatoes for this)
1 small red onion
1-2 green chilies finely sliced (seeded for less heat)
1/3 cup dessicated coconut
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
small pinch of sugar (optional)
juice of 1 lemon (or to taste)
Note: I did not finely shred my parsley as I usually do for the sake of getting the parsley represented in the photographs. I suggest you shred the parsley more than represented in my pictures.
Directions:
Prepare all ingredients and mix together. Make sure you remove any thick stems from the parsley and seed the tomato before chopping. Mix well and serve as a side dish with rice and curry meal. Enjoy.
