The next book giveaway, The Good Herb: Recipes and Remedies from Nature, by Judith Benn Hurley.
Not only does this book contain recipes and remedies but also lore and legend and tips for growing each herb.
Here's a bit of a teaser for you;
Broccoli and Potatoes with Dill (pg 94)
2 med. diced red potatoes
handful of fresh dill sprigs
1 1/4 cups of broccoli florets
3 minced scallions
2 t capers
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 t olive oil
1 t minced fresh dill or 1/2 t dried
fresh ground pepper
Steam the potatoes, covered, over boiling water to which you've added the handful of dill for about 5 minuters. Add the broccoli and continue steaming until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
Tip the potatoes and broccoli into a large serving bown and add scallions, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and pepper to taste. Toss well. Serve warm as a side dish or very slightly chilled as a salad. Or use as a filling for crepes or omelettes.

Ooooh I love it! What a great idea! I am going to grow some herbs- but I'm starting with just chives and dill. I tried garlic last year, but my chickens at all of them. I will have to do my herbs in a container, well out of reach of beaks.
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your drawing! I've grown herbs for many years, mostly culinary, but dabbled a bit in the medicinal side too. Always appreciate new ideas. Saw your comment on DTE.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I'm just learning about herbs and creating my list....asked my husband for and Elderberry bush for Mother's Day too. :) I have horrible reactions to additives so most meds I'm unable to take so I'm delving into learning what the plants have to offer.
