Freezing Herbs

Way Of Life Health Shop

I have noticed that the herbs in my garden are starting to come away with new growth. Fresh herbs add wonderful flavours to cooking but aren't always available all year round. A good way to store herbs while they are at their best, is to freeze them in olive oil or butter. This method works particularly well for harder herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, fennel stalks, and oregano. Use clean dry herbs. Chop or tear to size used in cooking. Put in ice cube containers singly, or mixed, to about two thirds full. Cover with olive oil or melted butter and freeze. When frozen, empty into plastic bags, label and store in the deep freeze. Use for cooking onions, garlic etc, for the base of recipes, for browning meats, adding to stuffing, putting in soups, or whatever takes your fancy! Enjoy.
