Rosemary ground is often used in Mediterranean recipes. It has an earthy and mild flavor that goes well with meat dishes, especially lamb. You can also use it to add a savory taste to chicken or other meat without overpowering the other flavors too much. Rosemary's aroma pairs perfectly with poultry, fish, and meats of all sorts because its sharp yet gentle fragrance balances out strong tastes.
