Ground sage, a popular herb native to the Mediterranean region, is a versatile addition to your spice cabinet. Sporting a robust, peppery flavor and an aroma that's both earthy and minty, it adds a complex layer to many dishes.
Traditionally used in stuffing and sausages, sage also harmonizes well with fatty meats like pork or duck. It can add a refreshing complement to hearty fall dishes, soups, and stews. For vegetarians, not to worry, this herb beautifully accents squash, beans and cheese dishes as well.
