Summer Savory is an annual culinary herb that shares similar characteristics with its perennial cousin, Winter Savory. The herb is widely used in Hungarian, German and Romanian cuisines, especially in dishes that feature grape leaves or cabbage. Savory is also an ingredient in Herbes De Provence, a common seasoning blend used in French cuisine. Use Savory to flavor grilled and roasted meats and vegetables, soups, stews, sauces and beans.
