Sage in the kitchen: first and second courses
Dried and crushed sage is an aromatic herb that is widely used in the kitchen to give a delicate note to soups, meat and fish dishes. In Northern Europe, it is used to flavour sausages, eels and goose fillings. Equally common is its use in some types of cheese. The Mediterranean culinary tradition does not skimp on the use of leaves in the preparation of dishes based on fresh pasta.
