A garden not only offers a green oasis, but also the opportunity to grow fresh and aromatic ingredients for the kitchen. Especially herbs are ideally suited for this, as they don't require much space and can be cultivated in pots on the terrace or balcony. But how can you create tasty delights from your own herbs? Here you will find out more about the cultivation and preparation of herbs.
Herb cultivation in the garden or on the balcony
Kitchen herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary or parsley can easily be planted in pots, boxes or directly in beds. It is important that the soil is nutrient-rich and loose to ensure optimal root development. In addition, most herbs require plenty of sun and sufficient watering.
If you don't have a garden, you can also plant herbs on the balcony or terrace. Herb pots or boxes are particularly suitable for this, as they provide enough space for roots and can be accommodated even in the smallest of spaces. Vertical gardens are also a good option for growing herbs.
Recipes with herbs
Herbs not only give dishes a special flavor, but are also healthy, as they contain many nutrients. Especially in Mediterranean cuisine, herbs like basil, oregano and thyme are essential ingredients. Herbs are also a tasty addition to salads or as garnish on soups and stews.
Here are a few recipe ideas:
- Pasta al pesto with homemade basil pesto
- Grilled chicken with rosemary potatoes
- Tomato salad with fresh thyme and olive oil
- Cucumber salad with fresh mint and yogurt dressing
Flavor explosions through herbs
By enhancing dishes with herbs, you not only get fresh and healthy ingredients, but also a taste explosion. The combination of different herbs adds variety to the table and turns simple dishes into culinary delights.
By growing your own herbs, you also opt for sustainable eating and can avoid unnecessary packaging and long transportation routes.
Conclusion: Homemade herb cuisine for the whole family
An own herb garden brings not only many advantages, but also more flavor to the kitchen. With a little time and patience, you can grow fresh and delicious herbs in a small space and experiment with which combinations suit your taste. There are no limits to your imagination!
