Good to know: Dried Herbs
Let me talk to you about dried herbs, and why the jar matters more than the recipe.
Dried herbs hit harder than fresh ones, spoonful for spoonful. Anyone who has swapped one for the other in a stew knows this the hard way. But the smell that made you buy the jar starts leaving the moment you open it. Every shake, every spoon dipped in, lets a little more escape into the air of your kitchen instead of into your food.
Choose by nose first. Crush a pinch between your fingers before you buy or use it. If the smell jumps up at you immediately, sharp and green, it is alive. If you have to sniff hard to find anything, it is dust with a memory of flavour — and if the colour has gone pale and tired too, trust that just as much.
Some people say dried herbs are basically the same as fresh, just less watery. No! Crush a pinch of dried basil next to a fresh leaf and compare. The fresh leaf smells like a garden after rain. The dried one smells softer and more muted, closer to a cup of tea than to a garden. Forget that difference, and you reach for far too much dried herb in a delicate dish, and the food ends up tasting of hay, not of summer.
