Bouquet garni is a small bouquet of herbs used to season
French Provençal dishes. Traditionally a small bouquet
of thyme, parsley,
and bay leaves, bouquet garni
is either tied with a string or wrapped in a cheesecloth bundle
or bag, then removed before serving.
Dried bouquets garni are available in gourmet shops, or make
your own from fresh herbs or a combination of fresh and dried
herbs. Simply bunch a bay leaf, a few springs of thyme and
parsley, then secure end with string or tie up in cheesecloth.
