About Rosemary, fresh
Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is a fragrant evergreen herb with stiff, needle-like leaves and a bold, piney, slightly peppery, resinous flavor, a woody Mediterranean shrub that thrives in sun and poor soil. Its robust aroma holds up beautifully to long cooking and high heat, making it a favorite for seasoning roasted meats, potatoes, root vegetables, and breads, and it is especially classic with lamb, chicken, pork, and focaccia.
Rosemary is rich in antioxidants and aromatic essential oils and adds big, savory flavor for no calories. A little goes a long way, since its strong, almost medicinal taste can easily overwhelm a dish. Whole sprigs can be added during cooking and lifted out before serving, tucked under a roast, or used as fragrant skewers, while the leaves can be stripped and finely minced. Store fresh rosemary wrapped in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator, where it lasts a couple of weeks, and because it dries so well, the dried herb holds its flavor far longer than most, though the tough leaves should be crushed or ground before use.
