so what is your favourite herb?

I mainly use coriander and thyme it is brilliant
what else shall I try?

Like thyme a lot. Oregano's good in pasta dishes. Dill, parsely are two that I like with green vegetables.

Rosemary, goes very nicely with lamb, i also like Corriander, such a lovely fresh flavour when combined wihh a spicy chilli or similar.

Oregano is fantastic on pizzas. Corriander adds a nice spicy kick to most other stuff.

Yes dear?

Has to be basil for me, the tomatoes best friend.

Can't beat making pesto either, far better than jarred rubbish.

Coriander, basil and kaffir lime leaves. They only need a little water and a glance, now and again. Perfect.

The holy trinity

Organo, Thyme and Rosemary. Nom.

Basil with any tomato based dishes. Majoram with roast meats. Rosemary, which is exceptional for roast tats, just par boil potaotes then roast with garlic and loads of rosemary. Bloody gorgeous. Saffron in Paella. Tarragon with chicken. There are so many herbs that go with so much stuff. I'm looking forward to having a garden again later this year so I can grow my own again.

Mixed, because I'm too lazy to buy different ones, and I don't really cook the good quality food that requires fresh herbs

I like herbs so much I grow my own.

jp_bl_68 · 7 Mar 2010 at 22:02

I don't really have a favourite herb, it depends on what I'm eating. Rosemary and lamb, fresh basil and tomatoes/pasta, coriander in curries, sage and peas in spaghetti carbonara is particularly good.

Favourite spice - cumin.

The Banana plant technically is a herb. I like basil best, or mint.
