What goes better with tomatoes and peppers? Herbs do. Basil is a traditional pairing with tomatoes, think spaghetti sauce, pesto, lasagna, and caprice salad.

Mints are often used in teas, as can lemon thyme and fennel. The internet is ripe with many uses of herbs, culinary, medicinal and otherwise, and how to preserve them. I don’t claim to be an expert but I am trying!
