Consumption advice
Sprinkle it over grilled meat, chicken, fish and oven-roasted vegetables; rosemary marinades may help reduce the harmful compounds that form at high grilling temperatures.
Best preparation methods
Crumble the dried leaves between your fingers into olive oil and garlic and use it as a marinade half an hour before grilling, so the meat absorbs the flavour deeply.
