About Winter Savory

Winter Savory is great with any legume. It is known to aid digestion of beans, so is good to add to any bean dish during cooking. It can also be added as a seasoning after cooking.
For a simple and quick dish, you can add some fresh sprigs to butter beans or cannelini beans or another choice and cook them with onions and celery.  Add lemon zest (or juice) at the end. If you want some added heat, add some chili or other bit of hot pepper.

It is good added to recipes for mixed winter braised or roasted vegetables, such as root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots or celery root and parsnips.

It is a good addition to stuffings whether for meat, fish or vegetables. 
As it is savory by nature, it can be used to season a dish alone without salt or pepper, if desired.
Though it has its own flavor, you might substitute it for Thyme in many recipes.
