Used either fresh or dried, its warm 'spicy' aroma adds piquancy to any dish. The bright green leaves and stems can be used in anything from salads to pasta dishes, infused in oil, or made into that Italian favourite, pesto. Dried, its flavour becomes slightly more mellow and is perfect for winter soups and stews.
