Stargirl, would you share your recipes for your herb and seasoning mixes that you made that you enjoyed so much? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

with pleasure LCM - I've been quiet as I've just been trying to translate a lot of herbal food recipes into US ingrediants for the recipe book. here are 3 of my favourites.

 

We're trying to cut down on salt use here but I do like some seasoning in our food. The main one I use continuously in stews, soups, with vegetables, with poultry or fish is as follows

 

2 parts dried parsley

2 parts dried thyme

2 parts dried oregano

2 parts dried rosemary

2 parts dried basil

1 part dried ground bay leaves

 

Combine all together and store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Shake before use if necessary. Dried herbs will last longer if they are not stored in the kitchen.

 

Another favourite of ours for use with fish, tuna or any seafood is the following. I also sometimes use it to flavour salad dressings and on poultry in summer time.

 

2 parts dried parsley

1 part garlic powder (or to taste)

1 part dried crushed oregano

1 part dried crushed basil,

1 part ground allspice

1 part black pepper

Store this mix in the same way as the one above but BEFORE USE add the zest of 1/2 a lemon (zest = grated peel without any of the bitter white bit). More lemon can be added depending on personal preference.

 

Seasoning for stuffing

6 parts dried sage

1 part dried thyme

3 parts dried sweet marjoram

2 parts dried parsley

Combine together and store as above
