Spice Tips<br />
Watkins at the 1928 Rutherford County Fair,<br />

• When using dried herbs, such as oregano or basil<br />
leaves, always rub the herbs together with your fingers<br />
(crush the herbs) before adding to the dish. This<br />
“activates” the oils to bring out more flavor.<br />
• You can store dried herbs in the refrigerator or freezer<br />
to last longer. Don’t store next to heat (i.e. stove). Keep<br />
them cool.<br />
• Remember: 1 teaspoon/5 mL of dried herbs equals<br />
1 tablespoon/15 mL of fresh.<br />
• When cooking long and slow, such as in a crockpot,<br />
always add dry herbs toward the end. The long cooking<br />
time can disrupt the herb’s flavor intensity. However,<br />
adding them to the beginning of a faster cooking dish,<br />
when you sauté the onions for a sauce, gives them time<br />
and moisture to rehydrate for added flavor.<br />
