Greek Oregano. Oregano is a "must have" for Italian and Continental cuisine. You just can't have spaghetti sauce or pizza without it. It also spices up many tomato recipes, meats, stews, breads, and stuffing.
French Sorrel. French Sorrel is an evergreen perennial herb with fleshy green leaves which am mildly sour with a taste of lemon. In cooking, sorrel is generally pureed and can be a perfect base for sauces that accompany poached eggs and fish. This herb is also used in mixed green salads, sandwiches, omelettes, and with soft goat cheeses, veal, pork, and fish. Be careful to cut it only with stainless steel knives and refrain from cooking it in metal pots, because the high acidity of sorrel causes them to discolour. In modern French cuisine, this herb is most notably used to prepare the three popular dishes: sorrel soup, salmon with sorrel sauce, or “saumon a l’oseille”
Summer Savory. The leaves, fresh or dry, may be added to water for cooking string beans or used in soups, stuffings, and sauces for veal and poultry, and also in egg dishes and salads. This herb is one of the most satisfactory mixers.
Purslane. Harvest (pick off) the purslane leaves. These are entirely edible raw, but rinse them off first with fresh water to remove all grime and dirt. Eat them as you'd eat a lettuce salad. Alternately, boil them as you would any green vegetable, then eat. A third option, often practiced in Asia, is to stir-fry the leaves.
Cumin.The cumin has effective and very strong stimulant properties; it is also a potent anti-spasmodic herb, as well as having carminative effects. The carminative powers of the cumin was highly regarded by the older herbalists, they preferred it over the fennel or caraway herbs. Herbalist of the present time however, prefer other herbs for human use as the cumin has a very disagreeable flavor, it is used as a carminative herb only in veterinary practice these days.
Hyssop. Certain herbalists hold that HYSSOP will help promote digestion and it is also said to have a tonic effect on the blood. Being a vegetable herb, HYSSOP is now served by many chefs in our country, in salads and in other ways.
