For your vegetable garden, your balcony, or your kitchen, we propose this aromatic plant that will provide you with sage whenever you need it to enhance your creations in the kitchen or your dishes.
The common sage - also called salvia officinalis - is a small perennial herbaceous aromatic plant with delicate labiate flowers belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The name comes from the Latin “salvus” (healthy) due to its undisputed therapeutic virtues. Considered by the Greeks and Romans as the herb of health, sage had to be harvested without wearing any iron objects, while wearing a white tunic with bare feet that were clean and well-washed.
In the Middle Ages, this little plant was considered the most effective of all medicines. Its range of action was vast, and the verb “to save” was generally understood to refer to its prescription. Also known as “the sacred herb,” sage was believed to be a powerful male aphrodisiac, capable of protecting pregnancies and increasing female fertility. The virtue of sexual invigorating was found in leaves cooked in wine, the preferred beverage.
In medieval times, this plant, typically administered with food just like all medicines of the time, also began to be recognized for its role as a seasoning that could make food more “delicious.”
Sage is one of the most used aromatic herbs in the kitchen and is among the most cultivated on balconies and in gardens.
The leaves of sage are used in the kitchen fresh or dried to flavor dishes, from first courses to second courses of meat and fish, and even in savory pies.
Despite its variety of uses, this plant is mainly used to flavor meats: for example, it is used in saltimbocca alla romana, a dish where sage is cooked with veal and prosciutto, it is used as a sauce with butter for first courses of pasta stuffed with meat such as tortellini or ravioli, it is chopped with other Mediterranean herbs (like rosemary, thyme, marjoram) to flavor roasts of both veal and pork, for game, it is used in stuffing for poultry, in marinades for grilled meat, and it is the main aroma of carpione meat, which tones down and sweetens the strong taste of vinegar along with onions.
However, this plant is not only used in main courses, as mentioned before: it is often used to flavor vegetables and legumes, especially zucchini and chickpeas. It is also used to flavor cheeses, with sage oil or pestos. Finally, some use sage to make a great digestive liqueur.
