Rosemary used as an herb is an important staple in the kitchen. Here are great ways to use the fresh and dried rosemary herb in cooking.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fresh rosemary sprigs or leaves
  • Dried rosemary leaves
  1. Step 1

    Rosemary pairs itself nicely with poultry dishes. Ideas include adding fresh rosemary to baked chicken or turkey, either in whole portions or in cut up pieces. Add rosemary to the pan, sprinkle on top or slip the herb under the skin to flavor the meat. Rosemary is also added to many poultry stuffing recipes, in both the dried and fresh forms.

  2. Step 2

    For meatloaves or hamburgers, chop the fresh rosemary fine or crush the dried rosemary. Rosemary is also great for meat pies such as beefsteak fold over pies and chicken and turkey pot pies. Rosemary is an excellent herb to add to roast beef and crown roasts.

  3. Step 3

    Rosemary is often added to stuffed fish dishes, such as stuffed trout and stuffed bass recipes. It gives a robust flavor when added to sauteed seafood dishes such as shrimp, and is great for adding to scallop dishes.

  4. Step 4

    For bakery items, rosemary can be used in biscuits and yeast breads, and is a good choice when serving with poultry and beef dishes. Rosemary can also be added to compound butters for serving with warmed, fresh breads as well.

  5. Step 5

    Rosemary is also great when adding to fresh vegetable dishes. Some vegetables that are highlighted when rosemary is added are cauliflower, sauteed mushrooms, baked parsnips and oven roasted potatoes, fresh peas and broccoli.

  6. Step 6

    Salads are also further enhanced when adding rosemary to the recipe. Salads includ fresh green salads, egg salad sandwiches, ham sandwiches, and salads with cream cheese and mayonnaise.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use the freshest rosemary you can find and avoid those sprigs that are dried out and bruised.
