I sent BF out to buy dill a few weeks back because I was making
tzatziki sauce. I've never bought dill, which is kind of amazing to me, so I don't know if what he returned with is the standard amount, or if the market that he went to is just one where you get a lot of dill for your buck, but holy crap--I got a lot of dill. I tried to use it up, I made dill roasted potatoes, tzatziki sauce, I feel like I added it to everything I could, and in fact, everything in my crisper started to taste like it. It's been a very dilly month. Sadly, even with my valient effort, I just couldn't eat it up.
I ended up throwing away about 3/4 of the bunch, which pains me greatly. I should have realized right away that I couldn't consume that much dill and just dried it, but I also don't really know how to dry dill.... Instead, it went into the trash--damnit.
You should be able to just hang it upside down in a dark cool place to dry it out. :) Tip for next time!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem...dill comes in such a huge bunch that I never get through it!
ReplyDeleteyou can freeze herbs by chopping them up and putting them in your ice cube tray, topped with a bit of water. we end up doing that a lot with basil.

You can also chop it up and freeze it, I think.
ReplyDeleteI think when everything in the fridge starts to taste like dill, it's time to go. Maybe next time, it can go to the freezer before then. I'm happy that some tomato sauce made it to the freezer this week before it started to mold. My good intentions with that usually aren't realized.If that's the only waste you had, good job.
