How to Use Rosemary in Cooking

1. Rosemary is widely used in cooking. Fresh tender branches and leaves have a strong aroma and can eliminate the gamey smell of meat. Just a few tender stems and leaves (no need to use too much, to avoid overpowering the food's original flavor) are enough for fragrant roasted ribs (pork ribs, lamb chops, and beef short ribs). Rosemary roast chicken is especially good.

2. For lettuce used in salads, if a few rosemary leaves are added when blanching, the special aroma easily infuses the dish. For dishes that require long heating, dried rosemary can be used, or a little rosemary powder can be added after cooking. Fresh rosemary flowers can also be used in cold salads, to garnish dishes, and to add fragrance and flavor.

Contraindications of Rosemary

Not to be used by pregnant women

Rosemary has a powerful and highly effective ability to enhance memory, which is why it has become a favorite of many exam candidates. However, it should be noted that rosemary is also a Chinese herbal medicine, and "every medicine has some toxicity." If you want to achieve good grades, the key is still to rely on your usual studying. Do not cram at the last minute before an exam and use large amounts of rosemary. If you accidentally use too much rosemary and cause drug poisoning, that would not be good.
