What’s the best way to cook Bush Tucker herbs & spices?
Bush Tucker herbs and spices can be used in cooking to add wonderful flavours. Anise Myrtle can be used wherever you use star anise, fennel or aniseed liqueur to give a great aniseed-licorice flavour to your recipes and hot drinks. Lemon Myrtle leaf is widely used in an array of sweet and savoury foods and beverages, prized for its deep lemon flavour and scent. Pepperleaf has an aromatic, wild spicy flavour and can be used to replace ground pepper in any recipe or as a delicious Bush Tucker condiment. Old Man Saltbush leaf has a soft, salty flavour – slightly earthy – and can be used as a direct substitute for salt as a seasoning or condiment. Or be more adventurous experimenting with Strawberry Gum leaf in chutneys, sauces and desserts; or add ground Wattle Seed to raw food recipes, baked goods and hot beverages.
