ATK x The Spice House: Provence Collection

You've got the spices. We've got the recipe inspiration.

Published June 1, 2022.

Thank you for purchasing the Provence spice collection, one of our collaborations with the Spice House! Now it's time to get cooking. Here are some of our favorite ways to use these spices.

Herbes de Provence

The scent of Provence in a bottle, these classic Mediterranean herbs, dried at their peak, add summery redolence to rabbit, poultry, and ratatouille.
ratatouille

WALKAWAY RATATOUILLE

To add spice and heady fragrance to this rustic Provençal specialty, we added red pepper flakes, a bay leaf, and herbes de Provence.

braised chicken

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE AND LEMON

This well-seasoned, juicy braised chicken delivers succulent meat and a rich, velvety sauce.

Marjoram

Delicate and piney, marjoram stars in Hungarian stews and is an essential component of herbes de Provence.
asparagus

BRAISED ASPARAGUS WITH SHERRY VINEGAR AND MARJORAM

Marjoram adds delicate flavor and braising produces asparagus with tender, silky texture and sweet, nutty flavor.

trout

GRILLED WHOLE TROUT WITH MARJORAM AND LEMON

Using a combination of honey and mayonnaise helps the trout brown but doesn't overwhelm the delicate herb flavor.

Dried Thyme

Thyme is among the world’s oldest culinary herbs. It is a relative of mint and oregano, which explains its bright, warm, woody, pungency.
beverage

SWEET VERMOUTH

Our favorite commercially produced sweet vermouths have hints of sage and thyme. We made our own with the same flavor profile.

slow cooker chicken

SLOW-COOKER COQ AU VIN WITH WHITE WINE

Dried thyme adds depth to a slow-cooker version of the dish Julia Child put on the American food map in the early 1960s.

Fennel Seeds

Wild fennel is one of two scents we think of as distinctly Sicilian (the other being orange blossoms). Fragrant and mysterious, fennel has a taste similar to anise.
carrots

BOILED CARROTS WITH FENNEL SEEDS AND CITRUS

In this easy but surprisingly delicious side dish, fennel seeds and citrus balance the carrots' natural sweetness.

cookies

PISTACHIO-FENNEL COOKIES

Fennel seeds' subtle flavor pairs perfectly with pistachios' for an unusual in this delicious cookie recipe.
