    Next time you do a roast chicken, stick a sprig of it inside.

    Before roasting a leg or shoulder of lamb, make small slits through the skin. Stick slivers of garlic in some, small sprigs of rosemary in the others, delicious :D

    Just remembered, my grandmother used to make rosemary ( or lavender ) shortbread. That was lovely, a real treat.

    Next time you do roast potatoes put a couple of sprigs in with them,or any roast veg for that matter.

    I tend to use it as Chruchmouse suggests but will put it with garlic for any roast meat really.

    There's a thread here which should give you more ideas. icon7.gif

    I just downloaded a recipe last night from taste.com.au for lamb and rosemary pies that looked delish. You can also apparently use a whole stalk as a kebab stick and thread on you stuff to infuse it with rosemary, guess you would have to strip it a bit first. One of those things you see on Ready Steady Cook, I lurve rosemary

    If you make a madeira cake with lots of lemon zest and juice, it's really nice if you add a little bit of really finely chopped rosemary. It sounds weird but a little bit doesn't really have a savoury taste at all, and it goes really well with the lemon.
  • I used to use it when I made meatballs from scratch. It also works really well with roasted vegetables or tomato dishes (it's originally a mediterainian herb).
