Use very finely minced fresh needles or a whole sprig infused into olive oil or broth, then removed before serving. The intense piney flavor pairs well with lamb, potato, and sweet potato.
Finely minced and cooked into roasted potatoes, squash, or meat. Remove whole sprigs before serving.
Any family use: focaccia, roasted meats, herb butter, infused oils.
Garden notes
Long-lived perennial shrub. Grows slowly but is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established. Needs good drainage. Overwatering kills it. Excellent container herb in terracotta pots. Good companion for cabbage, beans, and carrots.
