Herbes de Provence

Herbes de Provence is an aromatic blend of dried herbs characteristic of the cuisine of the French Provence region. The mixture typically includes thyme, rosemary, oregano, marjoram, basil and sometimes lavender. Their intense fragrance pairs beautifully with meat, especially lamb and poultry, as well as with vegetables, olive oil, cheeses and pasta. They are used in marinades, sauces, stews or sprinkled directly over roasted meat and vegetables, and are a cornerstone of Mediterranean cooking.
