Making Bouquet Garnis

 
I am off to the garden today, and I am gathering herbs in my basket for making bouquet garnis. 

I have chosen to do this from The Herbal Yearbook for my July project. 

A bouquet garni is just a bundle of herbs tied together to go into your cooking pot and season your food. 

I have chosen to use parsley, thyme, and two bay leaves for my bouquet garni.

I have a spool of butcher's twine that I am tying the herbs together with. That way, the herbs can go right in the pot when used.

Here is a finished bundle.

It is ready for the cooking pot. My favorite recipe to use herbs like this is Instant Pot French Dips.  The combination of herbs for that recipe is bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. You can use any combination of herbs you wish to complement your dish.

In Victory,
