Make your own " Herbs de Provence"
From Wikipedia
Herbes de Provence Herbes de Provence (Provençal herbs) is a mixture of dried herbs from Provence invented in the 1970s.
The standard mixture typically contains savory, fennel, basil, and thyme flowers and other herbs. The proportions vary by manufacturer. Thyme usually dominates the taste produced by the herb mixture. Lavender is only added in American mixes but is not used in French traditional mixes
But I want to add my lavender...so I guess I am making the more American version of Herbes de Provence.
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
•1 tsp dried thyme
•1 tsp ground rosemary
•1 tsp summer savory
•1/2 tsp lavender (optional but traditional)
•1 tsp marjoram
•1 tsp dried basil
•1/2 tsp dried sage
•1/2 tsp dried oregano
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Crush slightly with a pestle or the back of a spoon. Store in an airtight container. Rub into meat,chicken or fish for a dry rub or combine with olive oil for a marinade.
Wouldn't small containers of this, wrapped pretty and given with a few recipe cards on how to use the herbs be a cute gift for friends?
