Cooking with Sage: Tips & Inspiration

Sage Recipe FAQs

What is sage good for cooking?

Sage is often used for stuffing and for sausagemeat. Many people use it sparingly and only for poultry dishes, especially roast chicken, but it can be used in stews and casseroles to great effect.

What does sage taste like?

Sage is very distinctive, even compared to other herbs. It has a peppery taste that is also earthy and woody. You’ll also detect minty and citrus-like undertones in it.

What food goes well with sage?

Sage is a strong flavour that beds in well with fatty meats, such as mutton, duck or chicken. It is also great with pasta or gnocchi and frequently used in Italian cuisine.

Is sage better raw or cooked?

Sage can be eaten raw, but its texture and strident flavour lend it towards being cooked. Most cooks agree that cooked sage is preferable.

How to prepare sage for cooking?

Pick a stem or two from a sage plant, or remove your fresh sage from its packaging. You won’t want to eat the stems, so pick the leaves off, rinse them in clean water, and then allow them to dry fully before cooking.
