What to do with all those herbs: Sage

My sage (salvia officinalis) is growing like crazy. My friend, Susan, was telling me the other day that she wasn't sure what to do with all of her sage. Sage is a perennial herb that has a strong and earthy taste. It has light green almost velvelt-like leaves. Its a perennial in our area and is evergreen, so you can look foward to enjoying it year round!

This recipe for Chicken and Proiscutto (with sage) is delicious! My husband made this for me while we were dating. Love at first taste! Its from the Dean and Deluca Cookbook.

If you aren't up for eating your sage, try this display idea....Line a platter or serving tray with sage leaves for instant decoration.

  1. I take some of my sage leaves, clean them off, and cook them in a bit of olive oil until crispy. I then place these on the side of the plate with a sage and rosemary chicken dish. They look pretty and taste incredible!
