Herb Classifications and Usage

List of herbs used for teas and culinary and aromatic purposes

 

If space is at a premium, you might like to grow your herbs in groups according to their uses.  A garden filled predominantly with herbs always looks lovely, but small collections for a specific purpose are interesting and create a good talking point.  Following are several collections, each comprising of ten plants, but you could alter these to suit your own requirements.

FRIED CALAMARI FRESH

Calamari need to be either cooked quickly on high heat, or cooked for a long period on a slow simmer. To clean the squid, first pull out the tentacles and head. Set these aside.

Start by cleaning the Calamari. Holding the body in one hand gently pull on the tentacles to remove the insides, then remove the quill from inside the body cavity, finally peel the skin away from the outside of the body. Once the inside are out you can cut the head away from the tentacles The remove the mouth positioned at the base of the tentacles. Now wash the tentacles and body under cold running water.Once they are cleaned cut the body into rings about 1/4 inch wide.
