What else can I do with dill?

[kcixcy]

I want to grow dill but I can only think of one use for it in Greek cooking. How do you use dill? I sometimes put it in my spanakopita or hortopita. My non-Greek cuisine recipes include making a dill sauce for salmon, for pickling, as a garnish. Is dill in tzatziki? I have never made that from scratch. I don't actually "love" dill so if I can't think of more uses I might not grow it. I heard it goes to seed fast. Unless I can also think of a use for the seeds?

I prefer dried dill more than fresh because dried has more flavor. I use dill in dolmades, in both, just rice filled and meat and rice filled. Also use it in spanakopita.

I have never thought to use dried dill. I have a lot of trouble growing fresh dill so I am going to try using dried (store bought) before I make another attempt to grow it. It goes to seed so fast and dies back quickly so I am not sure it is worth growing!

Only tried fresh dill once and was surprised at the lack of flavor! So I stick with dried and it's easy to always have on hand.

I am also not a fan of fresh dill. I seem to prefer it dried! Also, I have trouble growing the fresh plants for some reason, they come to seed very quickly because I barely use dill.

Dried dill especially good in dolmades, either meat & rice or rice only. A bit of fresh or dried mint great in these, too.
