The Basics


Herbes de Provence
This is a traditional seasoning widely used in Mediterranean cooking. There are many different versions of this recipe, so this is just one suggestion.  I vary my recipe depending on how much of different herbs I have on hand. Use it to season lamb or poultry, in a honey glaze for pork or roasted turkey, and with roasted onions, garlic, and other root vegetables. I love sprinkling it on roasted potatoes.

Note: Use well-dried, organic herbs.

• 1/4 cup thyme leaves
• 1/4 cup summer savory leaves
• 3 tablespoons basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons crushed oregano
• 2 tablespoons crushed rosemary leaves
• 1 tablespoon crushed lavender flowers

1. Mix everything together and store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place.
2. Just before using, crush and add to foods.
