When herbs are dried, the oils which create the flavor and aroma are concentrated in the material that remains when the water is removed. Dried herbs are therefore stronger than fresh ones. Try using half as much dried as fresh or twice as much fress as dried and adjust to taste. Specifically two tablespoons of dried equals one quarter cup fresh,
4 tsp of dried rosemary equals 1/4 cup fresh.
a quarter of a cup
As much as you want, - a "large" sprig could be any size, you are seeing it, not us.
You can use nearly the same ratio to substitute for most herbs. 3 to 1. You want one third the amount of dried as the amount of fresh that is called for. That would be approximately 1 teaspoon of dried to one tablespoon of fresh. However, it also depends on how fresh your dried herbs are. Fresher dried herbs will have a stronger flavor and you may be able to use less. Older dried herbs will have a weaker flavor and may require more.
A quarter of a cup...
Yes they do. If you crush or brush them they smell much stronger.The plant has flavour also. Oregano is an important culinary herb. It is particularly widely used in Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Dominican and Italian cuisine. It is the leaves that are used in cooking, and the dried herb is often more flavourful than the fresh.
The rule of thumb here is that one teaspoon of dried herb equals one tablespoon of fresh.
1/4 tsp
Approximately one teaspoon of dried rosemary equals one tablespoon of fresh. (Approx. 1 tsp dry = 1 Tbsp fresh)
