Cooking with Herbs & Spices

SAGE: FASKOMILO (Salvia officinalis)

Sage is a versatile herb and it works well with other herbs in the kitchen such as thyme, rosemary and basil. It is commonly used in stuffing mixtures for roast poultry such as chicken, and game, but may also be used as an accompaniment to roast lamb or pork dishes. The sage plant is native to Mediterranean regions such as Greece and Italy.

Sage can be easily dried and crumbled into dishes. Unlike other herbs, it should be added to a dish early on in the cooking process in order for the more palatable flavour to develop. Sage is perfect for stews and casseroles as it withstands lengthy cooking times.

Greek Herb Cooking Tips

Sage is a strongly-flavoured herb that benefits from slow cooking in dishes such as casseroles, soups and stews. It is commonly used as an ingredient in stuffing mixtures but may also be used with other herbs such as basil and thyme, or used to accompany a wide rage of meats including pork and game. Sage has a pungent flavour and should be used sparingly; it may be used fresh or dried, but adding too much sage can make your dish taste bitter.
