Savory

Summer Savory is a traditional and widely used herb in Atlantic Canada, where it fills a culinary role similar to sage in other regions. It is the primary seasoning in dressings for poultry and is often combined with ground pork and other basic ingredients to make a thick meat dressing known as cretonade, a classic accompaniment to turkey, goose, and duck. Summer savory is also used in regional dishes such as fricot and in various meat pies. The herb is typically available year‑round in dried form and is used in a range of quantities depending on the dish—sometimes in generous heaping spoonfuls, as in cretonade, and other times more subtly, particularly in bean dishes, with which savory has a natural affinity. It is a characteristic component of herbes de Provence, a common blend of dried herbs sold throughout French markets. Beyond these traditional uses, summer savory is widely employed as a seasoning for grilled meats, barbecues, stews, and sauces, valued for its warm, peppery aroma and versatility.
