Rosemary Ashes
Rosemary is the sovereign of herbs, a proud vigoresse. Now sun dried and with her piney aroma, she is ready to lend her magic to my good friend, the fire. Harvest fresh rosemary branches from your garden and lay them in the sun for 1 week.
Ingredients
- fresh rosemary branches
Instructions
- Use a flame torch and burn the dry leaves to ashes over a barbecued steak. The rosemary will not entirely burn, but its ashes will fall on the steak and give it an unmistakable Mediterranean flavor.
- It will also impart a charcoal barbecue flavor to a pan-fried steak or one prepared on a gas grill.
