Sharon's Corner
Here's a rough guide to using fresh herbs, rather than dried herbs. When I used to sell herb plants at the Olympia Farmers Market, people would ask me how to use the herbs. I would tell them to cut fresh herbs and make them into a Bouquet garni. The usual response was "But don't you have to dry them first?" My response was always that the only reason to dry herbs was to have them available when they weren't growing, because they were under snow. Roughly, you need about six times more fresh herb than you do dried herb, or conversely, 1/6th the amount dried that you would use fresh. In the following recipe, you mince the fresh herbs, which is where I REALLY appreciate my Herb Chopper. Have extra fresh sage or rosemary that you don't use right away? Use a rubber band looped around the stems, and a clothespin to pin the bunch somewhere in the kitchen where it will dry. (On the edge of the wire basket of onions, perhaps?)
