Fried Sage Leaves (Salvia Fritta)
Fried Sage Leaves (Salvia Fritta) are my son’s favorite new snack. Who knew that lockdown was capable of providing such a pleasant surprise? One late-evening about a month ago he was a bit cranky because we were running low on food and he wanted a snack, and what we had he didn’t want. Thought about making french fries, but not a single potato in the house. Then I thought about the gorgeous, big sage leaves we have in the garden—as they are exquisitely delicious fried.
Normally I prepare fried sage leaves for casual meals with friends as a great addition to an antipasto platter or an assortment of fried treats, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats of all sorts. I also like to use them for garnish as they are not only great-tasting but pretty to look at as well.🌿
