Rosemary

Rosemary is a bright green perennial shrub with purple flowers, used as a spice plant. Rosemary is used to season many dishes. In Italy and southern of France it stars in sweet recipes and savory foods; butchers decorate with it slices of meat, even sticking rosemary branches along with garlic cloves inside of the meat slices to enrich and enhance their flavors. In several European countries, rosemary branches are soaked in red wine to create rosemary wine and in French cuisine it is used as one of the dominant ingredients in a popular spice blend “Herb De Provence”, which is used to season many dishes and stews.
