fresh herbs? Rosemary Carrots - Rosemary Potatoes

[Guest guest]

Rosemary, oregano, and basil are wonderful in soups, tomato sauces, dips,

biscuits, bread, on pizza or added to the crust when you make it. One way we

enjoy Rosemary, is to boil some small red potatoes in their skins and then drain

and add to a hot skillet with some oil and brown the potatoes with some fresh

rosemary needles.

 

Dill is great in pasta dishes, on potato dishes, some salads.

 

Basil is wonderful to make pesto with and in Bruschetta and tons more..

Parsley(good to eat fresh for your breath) and mint for use in Tabouli and

raita, Cilantro in many mexican dishes.

 

Go to www.allrecipes.com and type in fresh herbs and tons of recipes will come

up using them. You can also type in an ingredient and it will give your recipes

using that.

fresh herbs?

 

 

I am working at an organic farm once a week in exchange for a farm

share in the produce. I've gotten alot of fresh vegetables and

strawberries and some fresh herbs. I've never cooked with alot of

herbs and some are new to me. I have some fresh rosemary, spearmint

and lemon balm. I dried the lemon balm just in the oven with the pilot

light on because it didn't look like it would last long. What can I do

with these and what is the best way to store them? I did get some

sunchokes and we love those. I've sliced an roasted them, added them

to stir fry and raw in salads. I love the fresh, organic vegetables

and learning at the farm.
