Sage has a robust, earthy flavour that pairs wonderfully with roasted meats such as poultry and pork, squash and potato dishes, stuffing, beans, stews, and pasta sauces.
To cook with sage, chop finely or leave whole to infuse flavour. For a fragrant touch, fry whole leaves in olive oil or butter until crispy, then sprinkle over soups, vegetables, or risottos.
