Herbes de Provence Recipe
One of my favourite herb mixtures is Herbes de Provence, a classic herb blend using fresh or dried herbs. This mixture is very popular in France. It is used for many dishes every day in a French kitchen. Each area of France will have it's own variation of Herbes de Provence. Some will contain lavender while others will adamantly decline it's inclusion. I happen to love both the fragrance and flavour of the lavender. Thyme usually dominates the taste produced by the herb mixture.
Provençal cooking often uses these fragrant Herbes de Provence, garlic, and olive oil on meats, pizza, soups, on seafood, veggies, everything.
