Dill is an herb well known for its use in flavoring pickles. Both the plant leaves "dill weed" and the seeds are used in cooking and as pickling spices. The leaves can be used dried, as you see most often in jars in spice sections of the supermarket, or used fresh, snipped straight from the fresh green plant. When "fresh dill" is an ingredient in a recipe, it is the green plant leaves (and tender stems) that are being called for. Dried dill weed can be substituted for the fresh dill weed but there will be some loss of "fresh" flavor. In general, you can substitue one teaspoon of dried herbs for one Tablespoon of fresh herbs (a 1:3 ratio). Dried herbs do lose their flavor over time, so if your jar of dill was not recently purchased, you may need to add slightly more, test the flavor and let your taste guide you. It is better to start with less dried herbs and gradually add more if needed, than to start out with too much since that can overpower the other flavors of the dish. If a recipe doesn't otherwise specify, whenever "dill" is listed as an ingredient, use the "dill weed" or leaves. Dill seed will be specifically called for if that is the intended ingredient. As a rule of thumb, you can always substitute dried herbs for fresh and fresh for dried using the 1:3 ratio of dried (1 part) to fresh (3 parts).
