Basics Of Charcoal Grilling

There are numerous wonderful culinary herbs that it’s hard to pick only five for our list, but here goes:

1. Basil. The scent of basil when gently rubbed between your fingers is strong and heavenly. For pasta lovers this herb should be tops. It reminds us of long, lazy summer days and it is especially enjoyed with fresh garlic, crushed black pepper, large cuts of mozarella, thick slices of juicy beef tomatoes all drizzled with an oil and vinegar dressing. And let’s not forget pesto sauce! Basil is the main ingredient there. Basil not only complements Italian food but also American and Thai cuisines.

2. Lavender. Our favorite herb blend is Herbes De Provence and lavender is part of this delicious mix, along with fennel. thyme, savory and others. It’s great on grilled food, especially fish, and in vegetable soups and meaty stews too. Not only is lavender for eating, it helps us de-stress. Lavender relaxes the body, so a lavender bouquet by your pillow will help you have a great night’s sleep!

3. Dill. Do I hear you say pickles? And let’s not forget salmon. It’s fine ‘branches’ dress up salmon wonderfully.

4. Rosemary. Think big when you think of Rosemary – it can really grow! This shrub that can be grown into mini culinary Christmas trees – a great gift for anyone who loves to cook. With an aroma in potency to match Basil’s, it’s a perfect accompaniment for tomato based ishes and grilled vegetables, soup and meat.

5. Cilantro finishes out our list. It has a very different aroma and certainly livens up a dish. It makes pico de gallo popand any other Mexican food!
