Bay Leaf
20 recipes 1 guide
This dried leaf infuses soups, braises, sauces, and stews with a subtle woodsy, herbal flavor that becomes rounder and more noticeable during slow cooking. Add it whole early, then remove it before serving; its stiff texture does not soften enough to eat comfortably. The common mistake is adding too many, which can make the dish taste medicinal.
