Lovage is one of our home grown summer speciality herbs and is also known by some as sea parsley.
The leaves and stem of the lovage plant can be used in cooking and have a fresh flavour similar to celery. In fact it can be used in place of celery in many dishes and can be used to pep up low salt dishes.
This herb is a useful addition to soups, stews and stocks and works very well with lamb, pork and poultry. Many people use it as an addition to steamed vegetables and it works wonderfully well in a potato salad.
Here are some of our suggestions:
- Lovage and new potato soup with mint
- Chopped in a mayonnaise dressing with chicken
- Chopped in a butter sauce with sole
