A New Lemongrass Plant

Lemongrass is an herb commonly used in Thai food.   It looks just like it sounds  It is a grass with a lemony flavor.  I recently received a new lemongrass plant as a gift and added it to my herb garden.

The flavor of this herb is in the grass.  Lemongrass is wonderful with fish.  Try tying several blades together with cooking string and placing them on top of fish as you grill, bake or broil.  You can also chop the grass into fine pieces and season your favorite Thai chicken dishes.  The flavor is crisp and lemony.
