It's an internationally celebrated day dedicated to raising awareness for the useful properties and importance of herbs in our everyday lives. We're celebrating it here in South Africa because we cannot think of cooking anything without one of our favourite herbs (and mushrooms of course!)
There are many different herbs that pair well with mushrooms in cooking. Some of our favourites include thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, and parsley. Each of these herbs has a unique taste and can add a different flavour profile to your dish. Rosemary is traditionally used in Mediterranean dishes where its hints of lemon and sage work so well with pastas, olive oil and garlic.
There are also many benefits to cooking with mushrooms and herbs. For one, mushrooms are a great source of nutrients. They are low in calories and fat, and they are a good source of fibre. Mushrooms contain important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, potassium, and selenium.
