Using Herbs and Spices
Herbs, much like spices, are used to flavor food, although herbaceous plants are generally less dominant than spices. Their subtle aromas enhance the flavors of vegetables, meat, and fish dishes. For instance, dill and parsley are commonly associated with fish and seafood, as well as cucumber salads with yogurt. On the other hand, plants like rosemary and thyme are more robust herbaceous plants that pair wonderfully with lamb or poultry. In Italy, for example, chicken is often cooked with garlic and rosemary, and you can also add strips of bell pepper.
For a leg of lamb marinated in red wine, garlic, and rosemary, you'll experience a very aromatic and delightful Sunday roast.
Dried herbs should ideally be added to the dish at the beginning of the cooking process to allow their flavors to infuse. There are exceptions, of course. Basil, dill, and coriander leaves are so delicate in flavor that their essence can be diminished by heat, which is why these herbaceous plants are best added at the end of the cooking time.
Herbs are fantastic for enhancing light summer dishes. They can be used to flavor salad dressings and marinades for grilled foods. In marinades, the herbs impart their delicate aroma deep into the marinating meat. You can also stuff fish with herbs for a flavorful twist.
