What goes with Winter Savory?
Winter savory has small, firm leaves on progressively woody stems. The leaf tastes peppery, resinous and slightly bitter, with a dry finish that lasts well beyond its modest size. It supplies seasoning rather than vegetable bulk: the edible leaf and the removable infusion sprig perform different jobs, particularly once the stems become hard late in the season.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Winter Savory?
Creamy beans, sweet leeks and poultry juices provide enough substance for winter savory's assertive finish. Fruit contributes moisture and, when tart, acidity; it does not make an over-extracted infusion less bitter. Toasted nuts add a useful crunchy interval, but dark roasting can compound the herb's dry edge. Choose one principal herbal voice and adjust its quantity to the whole mouthful.
