Ancient Mediterranean Seasoning

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. These are all biblical herbs that have longevity, from medieval times to the 60's with Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair." Today, these herbs are an essential part of any kitchen.

Parsley, good for indigestion (and the breath!), was also thought of as a healing agent for a broken heart. Sage was known for strength. Rosemary represented faithfulness, love and remembrance. And thyme gave courage.

For me, all the spices and herbs that existed during biblical times were flavor enhancers. You can used this recipe for Ancient Mediterranean Seasoning to spice up many different recipes.
