Cooking Seafood Muscles

Q: Lemongrass is a bit confusing. Are the leaves edible or do you have to remove them before serving?

A: An edible herb native to Malaysia, lemongrass grows in clumps to a height of about three feet and is commonly sold fresh, dried or pickled. To uncover the edible part of the herb, pull off the outer leaves to expose the tender white-purplish center. You can save the outer leaves and use them whole to flavor stocks, soups, fish or poultry. Be sure, however, to remove them before serving. Lemongrass is a signature ingredient in Thai and Vietnamese cooking. It complements a variety of dishes containing ginger, chiles, coconut, garlic, shallots and green pepper.
