Morgan Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Basil is King. Coriander is his wee brother. Thyme and Rosemary are their wee brother and sister. Food without herbs is beer without alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Rosemary for me. And then I discovered Rosemary salt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently dislike of coriander is a genetic thing and some people can’t help but getting a soapy taste from it. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. For me, Taz, Indian food without coriander just doesn’t work. We are lucky enough to be able to grow herbs almost all year round. Our huge basil plant is still going strong even at the end of November. We used to do a chicken and tarragon dish years ago, but as you say, just a wee bit too much and the dish is ruined.

Konrad von Carstein Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thyme... Put it and garlic with a punctured lemon in the chicken's cavity before roasting... *chef's kiss* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 One of the most underrated herbs has to be marjoram, an absolute must in a chilli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dia Liom Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Parsley in a fish pie - also with some pasta dishes. Oregano while frying onions for dishes like joe's special (scrambled eggs with minced beef, spinach, red peppers), although I don't think I've had it fresh, just the dried stuff. Love fresh thyme with a steak. Rosemary with lamb. Anyone tried vanilla ice cream with basil? Not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer marjoram to oregano. As you say, great in chilli. It's also great added to tomato sauce and homemade burgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Oregano's the chappie for me Have several varieties in pots around the front door Used to hate sage by my wife puts it in omelettes and I've become acclimatised to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Thor Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I love Rosemary. Really versatile and I've got a huge bush of it in the garden. It ends up in roast potatoes and pretty much any meat I'm pan frying with half a head of garlic and enough butter to induce a coronary.
