Bouquet Garni Bundles

1. 1

   Bouquet Garni is just a wonderful little bundle of herbs to use in soups, stews, and all your other wonderful cooking. They are super easy to make - we make two different kinds: Italian and Provencal. If you have ever seen them before you have probably seen them in little bags that you can hang on the inside of your pot. I like to make them in bundles and store them in an airtight container after they dry. There are so many different opinions of the different blends that can be made - and there is no wrong way. Here are our favorite two:

   1. Gather the herbs you wish to bundle from your yard or the store-make sure they are fresh, not dried.

   2. Take a few stalks of each herb {or leaves of basil} and only one bay leaf for each bundle

   3. After gathering them together, use kitchen twine to wrap around the bundle {criss-crossing} and then tie the bundle together.

    4. Allow your cute little bundles to sit out for a few days to dry-and then store them in an airtight container until ready to use for soups, stews, stocks, etc. Put one in per pot of soup.
