Quick ways to use fresh herbs in cooking
|
|
| 1. Chop fresh rosemary leaves, garlic, squeeze a lemon and drizzle some
olive oil to marinate chicken, steaks, pork chops, tenderloin, or lamb
before grilling or roasting for amazing flavor. |
| 2. Mix fresh herbs with cream cheese or goat cheese for a quick,
elegant snack spread. Use lighter herbs such as parsley, basil,
chives, dill or marjoram. Add zesty sun-dried tomatoes for more
flavor. |
| 3. Add fresh herbs to a blender or food processor with shallots, 2
tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice, 1 tsp. dijon mustard. While blender
is running drizzle 1/2 - 3/4 cup olive oil until well emulsified for a
fresh dressing for grilled vegetables or salads. |
| 4. Bundle fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, parsley and
marjoram with kitchen string and simmer in canned chicken stock with a
peeled onion and garlic clove for quick flavorful soup bases. Add
vegetables, chicken, pasta or rice for a healthy low cal meal. |
