Herbes de Provence
A fragrant blend of herbs commonly found in France, Herbes de Provence is easy to make and will add tantalizing herbal flavor to your cooking.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons dried savory
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon food grade dried lavender flowers optional (see note)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container (see note).
- Optional: Blend in a spice grinder or using a mortar and pestle if you prefer the herbs to be a finer texture.
Notes
- Be sure to choose food-grade lavender; some lavender products are for decorative purposes only.
- Store in a tightly covered jar or container. Recycled containers are great, as long as they are spotlessly clean and dry. You’ll need a container that holds at least ¾ cup.
- Dried herbs will keep for at least 6 months stored in a cool dark place such as a pantry or cupboard. Do not store in direct sunlight or next to your stove.
