Winter
Savoury is a perennial plant which looks like thyme, though it's
flavour is a bit different.
It has a prostrate form, so you can grow it in a herb garden or
at the front of a border, or in a rock garden. It is a low plant,
and it also covers well, so you can use it as a ground-cover plant.
In
cooking, Winter Savoury can be used in salads, though sparingly,
as it has quite a strong flavour.
You
can also use it when cooking pulses - a lot of Italian dishes use
it - but should be used at the start of the cooking process.
It's very good when used in stuffing, infusing with oil and with
any lamb dishes.
A not
very common and quite underrated herb, which apparently is very
good for flatulence......
