WHY I LOVE MAGGI
Another name for Lovage is Maggi. Already abundant in my garden, it is a perennial herb that grows all season. I harvest it and put it into soups and salads in the springtime, and later leave the flowers for bees and butterflies. My favorite Maggi Soup recipe is to chop and sautée 10 bunch onions in olive oil (they are ready to be harvested, too), combine with 6 cups of Pacific Organic Chicken Broth, add 6 large red potatoes, chopped, and 4 big branches of Maggi leaves, chopped. Simmer. Blend with in pot mixer, add salt and pepper to taste, and then add 2 cups of milk, simmer gently. I didn’t grow peas this season because there was snow past St. Patricks’s Day, which is my deadline for planting them. I have planted plenty of beans, though, and I sometimes add a little more broth and beans later in the season.
