Harvest herbs form your garden, dry them, and then combine them into this versatile herb mix.
This is my new version of herbes de Provence with a few additions. You can use other herbs of Provence bends in its place or come up with your own multi-herb mix.
It is a fun way to use up all those half-empty containers of herbs. When using this blend rub it between your fingers and sprinkle it into or onto your dishes. this will release the essential oils in the herbs and awaken the flavors and aromas.
It is great on all types of veggies, fish and light meats. You’ll love it in dips, sauces and vinaigrettes, and it is great in pasta dishes and marinades as well. Try it in your next tomato sauce.
