Sage?

[whiteasianchef]

I just moved to a new house that has an abundence of sage growing in the herb garden. Besides Sausage, Roasted Chicken and Duck...what else is fresh safe good with? I often drop it in the deep fryer w/ some fresh rosemary when I fry up some fries. Please give me some good ideas.

Thanks

I saute summer squash with chopeed onion, butter, fresh chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Yum.

I started that other thread and on Friday night I did browned butter, walnuts and fresh sage sauce on fresh pasta (can't remember the italian name for the shape) as a cocktail snack, it was great.

I think I will make a butternut squash dish with sage tonight.

Sounds good. I will wait a few weeks or so. It's one of my early Fall specialties.

With butter on ravioli or any kind of pasts.
Pan fried with winter squash or a tasty garnish.
In mushroom pasta sauce.

Any kind of butternut squash puree, ravioli, gnocchi, or roasted root vegetables, I also use it in chicken marsala with mushrooms. Any sausage that already has sage in it will be great with lentils and sage.

I've had it fried in restaurants and it is delicious. I tried doing it myself and it wasn't as good. I think veal with sage is an Italian classic. Try searching on Epicurious.com or this recipe:

It's a standard ingredient in saltimbocca.

I will second the saltimbocca rec. Great layers of flavor in a dish that takes little time to prepare.

I will add Alton Brown's Dry-Aged Standing Rib Roast with Sage Jus.

Expensive but an absolute show-stopper.

Somewhat appropriate memory on "hurricane" weekend.....I remember having a big storm here in L.A. when we lost power for days. Luckily, the gas top worked with a lighter.
Went through the fridge...trying to cook what might spoil.
Made a pasta with my neighbor (I had a broken wrist, so it took two of us) that had carmelized onions, sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto and sage. It's become one of my favorite dishes; we still laugh about "blackout" pasta. Opened a nice Barolo....sat in front of the fire with candles.
I also have "fried" sage and used it as a garnish on dishes.....really crunchy and good!

I love it with cornbread, as a brine for turkey/chicken with dried cranberries, diced apples, etc. A great brown butter sauce with ravioli. My mind is drawing a blank, I'll come back with some more.

[tracylee]

Yep, that was my first thought, I use it in a browned butter sauce for pasta or ricotta gnocchi.

[whiteasianchef]

As in...baked in cornbread or just as a garnishment? I love cornbread!

Especially brown butter sauce with butternut squash ravioli and some Parm. Had it last night and it was delish.

There's a current thread on the Home Cooking board

[whiteasianchef]

I cant find a thread that is about what to use fresh sage on. All I can find is one that compares rubbed and dried. It doesn't really give me any ideas on what to use fresh sage for.
