Herbs de Provence

From southern France, this dried version of Herbs de Provence, uses lavender flowers which was apparently a new addition in the last few decades. It's a very aromatic herbal blend to add to your herb and spice cabinet. We've been using it on our popcorn. It's delicious. You'll need this special blend in the recipe for Tiffani's Raw Herbed Stuffed Mushrooms.

Herbs de Provence

 

1 Tablespoon dried thyme
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1 Tablespoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 Tablespoon dried tarragon
1 Tablespoon dried savory
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
1 bay leaf, crushed (optional)

Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container away from sunlight. Makes about 1/3 cup.
