Substituting dried herbs for fresh ones:
A ratio of
one part dried herbs to three parts fresh herbs works as a general rule because
most dried herbs have a more intense, concentrated flavor than the fresh
ones. Example: when a recipe calls for one tablespoon of fresh herbs, one
teaspoon of dried herbs can be substituted.
