Summer Savory

Store dried summer savory in an airtight container away from heat and light. Fresh sprigs can be wrapped in a damp paper towel and stored in the refrigerator for about a week.

Add dried summer savory towards the end of cooking to preserve its flavor.

Fresh summer savory can be chopped and added directly to dishes like a fresh herb.

It's a classic pairing with beans, especially baked beans.

Use it in marinades for chicken, pork, or lamb.

Beans (especially lima and green beans)

Poultry (chicken, turkey)

Pork
