Dill is a highly versatile herb that goes with many foods, spices and
herbs. It is also an international culinary herb, with a notable place
in Scandinavian, Greek, Indian and Vietnamese cuisines that goes beyond
garnish.
While dill is most commonly used to flavor soups, creamed foods, fish,
chicken and vegetables, it is also good with beans. In fact, dill is an
ingredient in Indian dal made with red or yellow lentils. Used
sparingly, dill weed even lends a savory contrast to lemon-based cakes
and sorbets.
