[Guest guest]

Time for our Question of the Week

 

Lots of you grow or buy fresh herbs. What do you like best, grow yourself

and how do you like to use them.?

 

Hope everyone enjoys sharing their ideas on the ways they use herbs to

enhance the flavors of food.

Marjoram, Oregano, Globe Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Lettuce Basil, Rosemary, French

Tarragon, Dill, Cilantro, Parsley, Spearmint, Chocolate Mint, Chives, Garlic...

I think that's it.

 

The chives, I use in everything from potato salad to omlettes.

The basil I use in pestos, fresh sauces, and tomato & bocconcini salad.

I use tonnes of dill, at least a cup, cooked with navy beans, tomatoes, and

garlic (one of my favourite side dishes).

I use the French Tarragon in marinades for tofu and veggies.

Rosemary is for roasting anything

Cilantro is for that awesome Black Bean and Corn recipe that was sent out a week

ago (THANK YOU!).. but it's poor this year and I've had to buy it to supplement

what I have.

Parsley is for tabouli... but it's also pretty poor this year so I haven't made

any tabouli this year..

The mint is for teas and decorations... I dip the leaves in chocolate and freeze

them to decorate cakes, etc.

And the Garlic... well, I'm French. Garlic goes into everything!

.... well, almost everything

 

Cheers!
