      Today let me tell you about another favorite herb of mine: Sage.

      By Constanze Bonelli

      Sage is familiar to us here in SoCal as a wild growing herb. Those of us who enjoy hiking have come across it on many trails. Just like mint, sage has a strong scent which comes from its volatile oils.

      In Italy, specifically in Tuscany, imagine yourself in a little streetside cafe being served fried sage leaves as an appetizer. You must try this.

      Take a few fresh sage leaves and fry in hot olive oil for about 4 seconds. Place on a small plate, lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Delicious!

      So, to impress your guests at your next dinner party why not serve them this delicious treat? I hope you’ll give it a try.

      Until next time.

      To your health!
