SAGE IS GOOD FOR YOU - FRIED SAGE LEAVES RECIPE

Herbal harvesting time on the homestead!

Now, what to do with all those goodies?

Well, for sage, there are multiple uses as tea since it is such a benefitial herb.

And of course we love fried sage leaves.

If you have never tried it, well, you must!




SAGE IS GOOD FOR YOU!

  • It is said to benefitially influence the human spirit, 
  • to quell unnatural or vicious sexual desires,
  • restores normal virility when failure is not due to veneral disease,
  • helps in fevers, colds and coughs,
  • acts as insecticide,
  • heart tonic, 
  • helps in digestive ailments, constipation, obesity,
  • supports weaning,
  • aids in nervous ailments, including paralysis and mild mental derangement,
  • improves memory.

And did I mention it yet: it's yummy!

OK, here now my fried sage leaves recipe:


INGREDIENTS
bunch of sage leaves
1 egg
salt
butter
optional: flour for dusting

METHOD
Wash the sage, shake dry, set aside.
Crack egg, whisk it, pull each sage leaf through it.
Now, the optional part: dust with flour. BTW: I didn't do this.
Melt butter in pan, fry leaves until crispy brown.
Takes them out, sprinkle with salt.

I like them with a rose champagne as appetizer!
