MISSION, KS--(Marketwired - Nov 21, 2013) - (Family Features) Everyone loves the flavor sage brings to turkey and stuffing -- yet there are so many great ways to enjoy this holiday flavor beyond its traditional use.
"Sage has that special aroma we all crave this time of year, which is why I love adding it in my potato gratin with creamy cheddar cheese for a dish that immediately says 'holiday'," said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. "You can use sage in your everyday favorites because it's such a versatile spice."
Make every moment of the season a little more savory by:
- Stirring sage into softened butter for green beans, broccoli and rolls.
- Sprinkling sage on sweet potatoes, butternut squash or other roasted harvest vegetables.
- Mixing sage into meatloaf for a festive family meal.
