Dill Weed

Dill weed has a very fresh and herbaceous aroma and flavor that doesn't lose much potency during the drying process in comparison to fresh dill weed. This herb is very light sensitive and will not only use color when exposed to light, but flavor too. Add dill weed to dishes at the end of the cooking process to preserve the delicate flavors.

A little dill weed and lemon, or for a more pungent effect add bity horseradish or mustard, is excellent in any number of creamy bases like mayonnaise, cream cheese, yogurt, or white sauces. Of course fish is terrific with dill, but so is chicken. Eggs, zucchini, and white beans are also nice flavored with a hint of dill weed. Other light herby flavors that work with dill are basil, parsley and cilantro.
