Sage
Sage has one of the richest and most distinctive flavors
of all the herbs. Perfect for a simple baked chicken or pork, sprinkle with
lemon juice or salt, sage and pepper. Albanian sage has a rich flavor unknown
to buyers of the California sage normally sold in supermarkets. Sage is
traditionally used for poultry stuffing and breakfast sausages, but its
rich strength lends itself well to many dishes, such as beef roasts, pork
chops and game dishes like venison, duck and goose. Sage has become much
more popular in recent years, as it is excellent in a great variety of dishes.
Try adding it to flavor salt-free dishes, sprinkle on turkey breasts or
add to soups and sauces. Leftover turkey or chicken can be pepped up with
a bit of rubbed sage. |
