Savory

Savory is a "bold and peppery" additive that is great for greens, in particular green beans and lentils (Gilbert, n.d.).  Ms. Gilbert proclaims the herb's history as an aphrodisiac and digestion aid.  Suggested uses are in salads, pizza, roasts and veggies.  The scent is a bit minty and somewhat strong.  It is also suggested that savory be used in place of salt for extra flavor in no-salt cooking.

The website has an Asian bean salad recipe, but I like the idea of the pizza, and so it shall be.... I can't wait to check this one out!
