Dill query

[PGirl24]

What is dill used in?

I can find relative information on the herb but not what it's used in once grown.

[coreopsis]

Here in UK mainly for dishes associated with fish.

The other uses I could recommend:

-new potatoes served hot with some butter and sprinkled with dill
-summer salad-cucumber with dill and creme fraiche,soured cream or natural yoghurt-works well with radishes and chives
-dill soup-veg or chicken stock,a few handfuls of dil,bring to the boil-serve with creme fraiche or cream,might do with mashed creamy tatties on side
-dill sauce/dip-goes well with pizza and bbq(1:1 natural yoghurt and mayo-for a more "skinny" version try less mayo-mix it with chopped dill).The same sauce can be made with horseradish and freshly cut garlic.
-cucumbers"marinated"in brine-dill is one of basic ingredients beside horseradish and garlic
-summer cabbage-cabbage,dill,butter,plain flour,a few drops of lemon juice-chop the cabbage,boil for a few minutes,at the end add flour fried on butter(to thicken it)and a few drops of lemon juice to taste.Once off the heat add the dill(if you cook it with the cabbage it will loose all the flavour)

If I remember something more I'll edit the post

One of my favourite herbs by the way...

I like to put a few leaves in between the fillets of a whole fish, sea-trout or Mackerel, goes well with trout.
The seeds make a nice substitute for mints

I love dill!

Dill pickled cucumbers
I'm sure Nigella has a few recipes- dill cured gravadlax springs to mind. Will have a look. It certainly goes well with salmon (smoked and non-smoked) as well as the other fish mentioned.

Americans tend to use dill more than we do (possibly because of the Scandinavian/N European origins of many of them?) so you could try a US recipe site for specific recipes.

I use dill in a Middle Eastern dish - fry 1tbsp each of cumin & mustard seeds, 4 cloves garlic & about 15 curry leaves, add 1lb spinach, 7tbsp chopped fresh dill & 6tbsp plain yogurt. Cook it until the liquid is absorbed then add 2tbsp lemon juice, 1-2tsp chili powder & 2 tins of blackeyed beans. You can add some water at this point - the recipe says add 350ml of water but I usually only put a bit in. Simmer for 10 mins then serve (it goes very well with some pitta bread and/or rice).

What a very helpful comment. Anyone can look at the millions of recipes out there on the internet; I suspect that when people ask for a recipe on a forum like this, they're looking for personal recommendations for things people have tried and liked rather than any old random recipe that could turn out to be pretty rubbish.

I edited my earlier post adding some stuff.

A bit harsh, the original poster said that they couldn't find ideas so somebody posted a link to some. If you don't want to try them then don't.

Personally I use it almost entirely with fish but sometimes add some to new potatoes also. Am intending to use it with gherkins this year also.

You're entitled to your suspicions, but I didn't see the word "recommend" or any inference of that in the OP.

Exactly my plan this year - both are doing well so far.
