I live in Central Texas and our local grocery store, H.E.B. and/or Central Market carries a pretty great variety of produce. Being a curious chef, I typically linger over the more unique items in the store. One that has always intrigued me was the little bundle of dried manzanilla--it looks like a small bundle of thin twigs or kindling and smells like fresh cut grass. I cannot find anything on the internet about it except that it is a relative of the chamomile flower. All other searches for manzanilla bring up the Sherry from Spain and the olive varietal, which I was already familiar with. What are these little twigs used for??? I even bought a bundle since it was only $0.49, but I'd like to do something with it instead of looking at it. I was thinking it may be used in some sort of Mexican soup or broth...thoughts?
