Description:
Herbes de Provence, or Provencal herbs, is a traditional blend of aromatic herbs that flourish in hills of southern France during the hot summer months. The mixture typically contains rosemary, marjoram, basil, bay leaf, thyme and sometimes lavender flowers and other herbs.
Applications:
Herbes de Provence is a good addition to any dish from the Mediterranean region and is especially good mixed with olive oil to coat chicken, fish, tomatoes or chunks of potato for roasting or added to a pizza sauce. It's also used for seasoning salads, sauces and cheeses, as well as soups and stews. When grilling add a pinch or two of herbes de Provence to the coals when they are hot!
