Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a herb that instantly brings to mind sunny, Mediterranean hills and delicious, fragrant dishes. It’s one of those herbs that, once you smell it, immediately transports you to a summer garden filled with herbs. Rosemary was often used in ancient Greece and Rome during weddings and funerals as a symbol of loyalty and eternal remembrance.
The rosemary shrub
Rosemary is an evergreen shrub that thrives in warm, dry climates around the Mediterranean. With its needle-like leaves and small, light blue flowers, rosemary is a real eye-catcher in any herb garden. But it is especially known for its intense, woody fragrance that combines a hint of freshness with a powerful herbal undertone. The aroma of rosemary often brings back memories of roasted dishes and fresh herb butter. The herb is widely used in kitchens worldwide.
Rosemary in the kitchen
Rosemary is loved in the kitchen for its powerful aroma, which can enhance anything from roasted meats to vegetables. Here are some ways to incorporate more rosemary into your daily meals:
Roasted potatoes with rosemary: Toss potatoes with olive oil, fresh rosemary, and garlic for a simple yet delicious side dish.
Herb butter with rosemary: Add fresh, chopped rosemary to softened butter for an herbal twist that’s perfect for spreading on bread or drizzling over grilled vegetables.
Infused olive oil: Place a few sprigs of rosemary in a bottle of olive oil to create an aromatic oil perfect for drizzling over salads or using in cooking.
Rosemary is one of the herbs that retains its flavor for a long time, even after being dried. This makes it a valuable addition to the pantry, as it can enhance the flavor of your dishes even when you don’t have fresh herbs on hand.
Rosemary in other applications
Rosemary is not only a beloved herb in the kitchen; it also has various other uses. For example, it is used in sachets and potpourri. The intense aroma of rosemary makes it a popular choice for fragrant sachets to keep clothing smelling fresh. Rosemary oil is also widely used in the perfume industry. Lastly, the shrub is beautiful to look at: it is hardy and can thrive in dry conditions, making it a popular plant for rock gardens and pots. Even in colder areas, rosemary does well in the garden.
