I use rosemary with either carrots or potatoes. I cook carrots til almost tender. Then they go into a caserole dish with butter or margarine and rosemary. Bake 350 for about 10 minutes.

Potatoes can go on a cookie sheet, spray with olive oil and rosemary. Bake 350 til done. Potatoes could be parboiled also.

Here's one from wednesday's newpaper

Herbed Walnuts

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 T olive oil
1 pound walnut halves
1.5 T crushed dried or 5 T fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt

Preheat the oven to 325F
place the butter and olive oil in a large pan and melt in the oven. Add the walnuts in a single layer. Sprinkle with the herbs, salt, and spices. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

This is a thread I will have to refer back to again and again - so many wonderful Rosemary recipes to try!

I have tons of Rosemary. Mostly I use it in a pot of simmering water to scent the house. Also use it in a cheesecloth bag in bathwater.

I put it in a cup of butter, melt the butter and rub it on my chicken every 10 minutes till its done...and by chicken I mean rotissery or roasted or bbq or just grilled, or george foreman grill..lol

Just to add one more idea to this thread... rosemary is divine in a winter omlette. My rosemary is planted in pots that come inside when the weather turns cool. There is absolutely nothing like an egg, cheese, and rice dish with fresh rosemary in the middle of winter. Nothing!

I was watching Oprah yesterday, and Dr. Oz said rosemary was good for learning--wasn't it Shakespeare who said rosemary was for remembrance?
