Description
Sage is a pungent herb that adds a feeling of warmth to dishes. A member of the mint family, sage has an earthy, sweet-yet-savory flavor that makes it the perfect addition to heavy, robust dishes like sausage, stuffing, cured meats, root vegetables and creamy pasta dishes. The large leaves of sage can also be deep-fried to yield a flavorful, crispy chip that can then be used as a garnish or seasoning on a variety of dishes. Sage tea has a long history of use for sore throats, coughs, and mouth inflammations.
