Herbes De Provence

This mixture of herbs, used in southern France to flavor meats, poultry, fish and stews usually contains basil, fennel, rosemary, sage, thyme and sometimes lavender flowers. Other herbs can be used such as oregano and savory. If you make your own you can use any combination that you prefer. I have provided one of my recipes that can be used as a guide.
