ROSEMARY
Rosemary is an herb in the mint family. It is a small evergreen shrub,
Rosmarinus officinalis, whose 1inch leaves resemble curved pine needles.
Traditional Ethnic Uses
Rosemary is used primarily in Italy in lamb, pork, chicken, and rabbit
dishes.
Taste and Aroma
Rosemary has a tea like aroma and a piney flavour.
A Few Ideas
Rosemary's assertive flavour blends well with garlic to season lamb
roasts, meat stews, and marinades.
Rosemary also enlivens lighter fish
dishes, tomato sauces, and vegetables. Melt butter with Rosemary to
dress freshly steamed red potatoes and peas or a stir fried mixture of
zucchini and summer squash. Crush leaves by hand or with a mortar and
pestle before using.
