Rosemary

One of the favorite spices of the ancient Greeks and Romans to season meats is Rosemary. Rosemary looks like pine needles and has a unique flavor and when used it dominates the dish. It's still commonly used around the Mediterranean to flavor pasta’s, BBQ meats and many other Greek/Italian dishes. Using whole or grinding in a mortar Rosemary can be added early on in any dish but should be slow cooked to really release its pungent flavor.
