Sage
Indoor Care Instructions
Sun-Place your Sage plant near a sunny window
Soil- Sage plants like well drained soil
Water- Sage is a drought tolerant plant, so let the soil dry out in between waterings. If you notice your sage leaves start to look wilted just give it a little water and they should perk right back up.

More Info
Harvest- You can harvest your Sage herb two ways, you can either cut off an entire stem close to the soil or you can pick off the leaves. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before cutting off the entire stem so your herb can mature faster.
-Sage herb is a great herb to dry. Cut the stems and hang them upside down and wait a couple of weeks and you will be cooking in no time.
Fetured Recipe
Parmesan Sage Pork Chops
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 pinch ground black pepper
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
-
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
-
2 boneless pork chops
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
-
Mix flour, salt, and ground pepper in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, sage, and lemon peel in a shallow dish. Gently press pork into flour mixture to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place breaded pork onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
-
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops on each side, about 4 minutes per side, then transfer to baking dish.
-
Bake in preheated oven until juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of pork reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes.
