I have a wonderful abundance of savory right now. Trouble is, I really don't have recipes for it. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance. :)

    The flavor is distinct and you can also dry it. A slightly peppery flavor. Suggest that you taste some and see what your taste buds dictate.

    Savory (both summer and winter) is very good with beans, in posole, and on shish kabobs. Use it like you would oregano because it is not at all delicate. It combines well with oregano.

    I added fresh garlic chives, garlic, oregano, and winter savory to spaghetti sauce; my family went nuts over it.

    I agree that the peppery flavor of savory is great with beans and lentils.

    I also take cuttings of rosemary, oregano, and savory to make a disposable BBQ brush. Just wire or rubberband the "handle" end and throw it away after you cook.
