How much dry herbs do you use compared to fresh? For instance I'm making a marinade for a pork roast. It calls for 2 Tbl spoons fresh rosemary. How much dry should I use? (I know fresh would be better but I cant drive into town tonight:() Thanks.
 
I think in general the rule of thumb is 3:1 fresh to dried. You would use 1/3 as much dried as you would fresh.
