Herbs de Provence Recipe
Description
The Herbs de Provence Recipe combines equal parts dried savory, marjoram, thyme, oregano, basil, tarragon, and lavender or rosemary, with an optional addition of crushed dried bay leaf for added depth. Mixing these herbs creates a herbal seasoning characteristic of the Provence region, suitable for flavoring a variety of dishes.
The blend should be stored in a cool, dark place like a pantry and can retain its flavor for 6 to 12 months. Using dried herbs keeps this mix shelf-stable and ready for use whenever you need a fragrant, earthy topping or marinade ingredient.
Bay leaf must be crushed finely and used sparingly—about 1 teaspoon maximum—since its strong flavor can easily overpower the blend. This mix works well as a Rub or finishing sprinkle on meats, vegetables, or stews for a nuanced herb taste.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon savory dried
- 1 tablespoon marjoram dried
- 1 tablespoon lavender dried or rosemary
- 1 tablespoon thyme dried

Instructions

Notes
- Crush dried bay leaves finely to avoid overpowering the blend; use no more than 1 teaspoon.
- Store the herbs mix in a cool, dry pantry away from sunlight to preserve flavor for up to a year.
