Any takes on Rosemary seasoning?

[Dive Bar Casanova]

Rosemary is a key seasoning in this You Tube Recipe. I mentioned it to a close friend who shares a passion for smoking meat and food. "My kids don't like when I use Rosemary." I rarely do, but it seems essential in this recipe, helps set it apart.

Everyone has their favorite food joint, or they prefer their moms cooking over anything else but Loves's BBQ restaurants was really popular here in Southern California with everyone.
Everything on the menu was good. Wildly popular. Coleslaw, ribs, sides it all was fantastic.

The old man sold out, the new buyers went on-the-cheap and inconsistent, and the chain collapsed.
The beans were excellent and the only thing left out of this video is Loves used a very small pinto bean. I think it made a difference. I use a small pinto bean and yes, it does make a difference. Fantastic recipe:

The Love Brothers, sons of the founder went to my High School.
They were a well-off family, but if the kids wanted spending money, they earned it.

The Love Brothers worked at one Loves BBQ location in the early AM and then they walked to school. They prep'd a few things, got the BBQ beans from soaking to cooking, lit the smokers fires, several tasks then the regular staff arrived and the Love Brothers headed off to school.

They'd enter school dressed in their white kitchen cloths, chubby puddin' faces like the Pillsbury dough boys, they'd waddle to the gym locker room to shower and change into school cloths.

Without fail, Donna Tucker would yell out a third floor school room window in her powerful opera voice as they passed by "Men in Bakery Pants! I just love men in white bakery pants!" Amplified and echoed across the quad.
Brutal.

We love it on/in pork butt chunk stews!

I like and use rosemary but usually only with beef or making beef stock. It is a definite flavor much like sage is unique and you either like it or you don’t.

Thank you for the bean recipe and I’ll be sure to make them and try them, they look pretty sweet forward but sometimes sweet beans are what you need. Honestly I would never think to use rosemary in bean’s especially powdered and 1Tbs to 30oz beans, but I’m game to try it. Thanks again.

I love rosemary, may have to give that a try.

I use fresh rosemary on beef or sometimes when I roast some potatos.

 

[Coreymacc]

I use it on potatoes quite a bit.

Huh. There used to be a Love's BBQ Pit in Lynnwood, WA, when I was a kid. Food was very good, by a kid's experience. I distinctly remember their beans; like nothing else I'd ever had.
It was the only BBQ joint around at the time, other than Armadillo BBQ, in Woodinville, WA. I think it went out in the mid 70's. I wonder if it was a franchise?
I'll definitely have to try out that recipe.

I didn’t know I liked sage or fennel until we tried a sweet Italian sausage, fennel and sage lasagna.
Simply outstanding.

Rosemary and lamb were meant for each other.

I use it when I can but mostly have to exclude it if the wife will be eating what I make. Sad 'cause I really do like what it can bring to a dish.

Love Rosemary . Would have never thought to put it in beans , but now I will . I had a huge plant , but the negative temps last winter killed it . Used to walk out on the porch and cut it fresh .

 

[JLinza]

Never thought of it for beans either, have to give it a try. We like Rosemary just fine here.

i use alot of rosemary. its good for pork beef chicken duck and deer. its the main flavor that makes my smoked deer roasts taste like roast beef. if you dont use it your missing the boat. lol

i dont like in chunks though. i always grind it up somehow.

WE use rosemary for various dishes, but potatoes mostly.
Not a big fan of pinto beans. Those look way to sweet forward for us. In my youth those would have been a hit as I loved Van Camps
I bookmarked for future reference.

Brutal.

HS bullying has never gone away even in today's age of enlightenment. Yes brutal and sad.

Just did SPOG plus rosemary and parsley rub on smoked duck breasts. Heaven.

 

[Inscrutable]

I use it on roasted potatoes and in a savory blend rub on chicken. Very rarely make lamb, but great on that.
I need to see if I can get one to grow here … had a large one two houses ago.

Yup . That's a classic , and another one I forgot about . I do it quit a bit .

That does look and sound great

It's a fantastic flavor profile on savory bread if you like rosemary . Thyme is another one .
