Laurel, Bay Leaf

Laurus nobilis

Use:
Laurel leaves are used fresh and dried. The leaves are suitable for all dishes that are acidic: sauerkraut, broth, beets, cucumbers and herring. They also fit well with hearty dishes like braised beef, venison, potato dishes, stews and casseroles. They are very versatile, especially when used in Mediterranean cuisine.

Origins:
Originally, the laurel tree came from Asia Minor (Cyprus, Turkey). Today it has spread to the whole of the Mediterranean from Spain to Turkey and Morocco.
