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.
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 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.
BRAISED ASPARAGUS WITH SHERRY VINEGAR AND MARJORAM
Marjoram adds delicate flavor and braising produces asparagus with tender, silky texture and sweet, nutty flavor.
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.
Our favorite commercially produced sweet vermouths have hints of sage and thyme. We made our own with the same flavor profile.
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.
BOILED CARROTS WITH FENNEL SEEDS AND CITRUS
In this easy but surprisingly delicious side dish, fennel seeds and citrus balance the carrots' natural sweetness.
Fennel seeds' subtle flavor pairs perfectly with pistachios' for an unusual in this delicious cookie recipe.
