Culinary Applications of Sage
Sage, a herb native to the Mediterranean region, is celebrated for its robust flavor and aromatic qualities. As a member of the mint family, sage adds a peppery essence to dishes:
- In German and British cuisine, sage plays a starring role in premium sausage recipes.
- Its ground form enhances the taste of rich meats, including pork and lamb.
- French cuisine uses it in lighter fare like poultry and fish dishes.
- In Italian tradition, sage is fried in olive oil and paired with cheese in the classic pasta dish buro e salvia.
- Lightly simmered in butter, it creates a flavorful sauce that pairs wonderfully with pumpkin ravioli.
Beyond its culinary use, sage finds its place in tinctures, tea mixtures, and as an ingredient in various herbal infusions.
