Rosemary is a traditional Mediterranean herb. Use it preferably fresh and leave the dried version for mild dishes.

Fresh rosemary adds a stronger flavor than the dried one cannot matc and it is relatively easy to find in the shops.

Look for fragrant sprigs with bright colored leaves – a sign of freshness. The sprigs will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, loosely wrapped in a damp cloth or paper towel and sealed in a plastic bag.

Wash before use and pat dry with paper towel. Snip the leaves and sprinkle them over food, add a whole sprig if you only want the flavor and plan to remove the herb before serving.

Try to use larger rosemary sprigs as skewers for your next grill up. They will work with softer food, such as marinated fish chunks.
