Rosemary 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Perfect for Roast Lamb

Rosemary and lamb are a classic pairing.

Crush the dried Rosemary slightly, then combine it with garlic, olive oil, salt and black pepper before rubbing over lamb for roasting.

Its bold flavour stands up well to rich meat and long cooking times.

Excellent with Roast Chicken

Use Rosemary to season whole roast chicken, thighs, drumsticks or tray bakes.

Combine with lemon, garlic, olive oil and black pepper for a simple Mediterranean-style seasoning.

Made for Roast Potatoes

Toss potatoes with olive oil, Rosemary, garlic and salt before roasting.

The heat helps release the herb's aroma while the dried needles become integrated into the crisp exterior of the potatoes. Roast potatoes are one of the signature applications highlighted on SpicenEasy's live page.

Great with Root Vegetables

Rosemary pairs especially well with:

• Pumpkin
• Kumara
• Carrots
• Parsnips
• Potatoes
• Onions

Add it before roasting so the herb has time to infuse into the vegetables.

Perfect for Focaccia & Homemade Bread

Knead Rosemary into bread dough, focaccia or savoury rolls, or sprinkle it over the surface with olive oil and coarse salt before baking.

SpicenEasy's current page specifically recommends dried Rosemary for homemade focaccia and bread.

Add to Soups & Stews

A small amount of Rosemary adds depth to beef stews, lamb stews, bean soups and vegetable soups.

Because it is a strong herb, add it early in cooking so it has time to soften and infuse the dish.

Use in Mediterranean Seasoning Blends

Rosemary works naturally alongside herbs such as:

• Oregano
• Basil
• Thyme
• Marjoram

It is also traditionally included in herb combinations such as Herbes de Provence.

Make Herb-Infused Oil

Dried Rosemary can be used to flavour oils and vinegars for culinary use.

For home-infused oils, use appropriate food-safety practices and avoid storing fresh garlic or fresh herbs submerged in oil at room temperature.

Crush Rosemary Before Using

Dried Rosemary needles can be quite firm.

SpicenEasy recommends crushing the dried leaves between your fingers or with a mortar and pestle before use, which releases more aroma and makes the herb easier to distribute through a dish.

Dried vs Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Rosemary has a softer, greener aroma and is useful when fresh sprigs are part of the presentation or recipe.

Dried Rosemary has a more concentrated flavour and is particularly convenient for roasting, stews, bread and seasoning blends where it cooks for longer.
