No, it's not your grandmother's and it isn't the commercial mix of herbs either.
BUT, it is a handy spice mix to have around. It is very fragrant. Open the sealed bag and your kitchen smells of a spring garden!
I use this almost anytime a recipe calls for a mixture of two or three herb spices. It tastes great on a focaccia bread, add to oil and balsamic for a great bread dipping oil. I add to fish and chicken for a light taste accent. It is just great to have sitting around... ready
5 TBS dried Tarragon
5 TBS dried Oregano
5 TBS dried Dill
5 TBS dried Thyme
5 TBS dried Rosemary
5 TBS dried Garlic Flakes
2 TBS Sea Salt
2 TBS Fresh ground Pepper
1 TBS dried Lemon Zest
Store in a sealed plastic ziplock bag, airtight in a dark drawer, and stays fresh for 6 months or more.
Very useful
That really is a great combination of flavours!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a terrific blend! I would definitely love it on focaccia!

ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog, I like the rubs oyu make and the use of spices. I am a vegan, so I do not eat any meat for health reasons, but I think I can incorporate your rubs for my "meat I eat" Thank you for sharing your Island life with us, I think it is brilliant...oh and I loved the shark bowl!!!
That looks and sounds better than the commercial mixes I usually buy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! I love herbes de Provence and this looks like a nice version of it to have around.
ReplyDeleteHave been off the blog scene for the last month--too much work, lost and found cat, etc. Glad to see that you are enjoying your life in the Virgin Islands.
Can we move in? ;)
