Mixed Herbs 50g

Recipes & Uses

Why Choose Mixed Herbs?

A ready-balanced combination
Several complementary herbs are already mixed together.

One blend for many cuisines
It works with Italian, Mediterranean, European and everyday home cooking.

No chilli heat
The flavour is herbal and savoury, making it easy to use for the whole family.

Ideal for regular cooks
The 50g pack is useful when Mixed Herbs is something you reach for several times a week.

A genuine pantry shortcut
You still cook with fresh ingredients — you simply don't have to measure several dried herbs every time.

What Do Mixed Herbs Taste Like?

Mixed Herbs give you a rounded savoury herb flavour with several different layers.

You'll notice:

Earthiness from oregano

Gentle sweetness from basil

Savoury depth from thyme

Aromatic pine-like notes from rosemary

The balance means the blend works well even when you're not following a specifically Mediterranean recipe.

It simply makes savoury food taste more aromatic and seasoned.

How to Use Mixed Herbs

Pasta Sauces

Stir directly into tomato-based sauces and allow the herbs to simmer.

They work especially well with:

Tomato
Garlic
Onion
Olive oil

Pizza

Add to the sauce or sprinkle over the toppings.

Roast Chicken

Mix Mixed Herbs with olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper.

Coat chicken before roasting.

Lamb & Beef

Use in marinades alongside:

Olive oil
Garlic
Lemon or vinegar

Roast Vegetables

Particularly good with:

Potatoes
Kumara
Carrots
Pumpkin
Courgettes
Capsicum

Soups & Casseroles

Add during cooking so the herbs can soften and infuse the liquid.

Why Use a Blend Instead of Four Separate Herbs?

Individual herbs are useful when you want precise control.

But everyday cooking often doesn't require that level of complexity.

If you're making:

Roast vegetables
Chicken
Tomato sauce
Soup

you may simply want a balanced herb profile.

That's where Mixed Herbs becomes useful.

Instead of:

Opening several packets.

Measuring each one.

Trying to balance them yourself.

You reach for one blend.

Build Flavour in Layers

For sauces and soups, try using the blend twice.

Add the first amount early so the dried herbs can rehydrate and become part of the dish.

Then add a smaller amount near the end.

The first addition gives you depth.

The second gives you fresh herbal aroma.

This simple technique can make dried herbs taste much more lively.

Bloom the Herbs in Oil

For more aroma, gently warm Mixed Herbs in olive oil before adding other ingredients.

Heat oil over moderate heat.

Add:

Mixed Herbs
Garlic

Cook gently for around 20–30 seconds.

Then add tomatoes, vegetables or other ingredients.

The oil helps extract and spread the herb aromas through the finished dish.

Do not let the herbs burn.

Try It This Way

For an easy weeknight chicken tray bake, combine:

Chicken thighs
Potatoes
Pumpkin
Red onion

with:

Olive oil
Mixed Herbs
Garlic
Salt
Black Pepper

Roast until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are golden.

Finish with lemon juice.

Minimal preparation, but plenty of flavour.

Make Garlic Herb Bread

Mix softened butter with:

Mixed Herbs
Garlic
A little salt

Spread generously over sliced bread.

Bake or grill until crisp and golden.

The same mixture can also be used on:

Focaccia
Potatoes
Corn
Grilled vegetables

Make an Everyday Marinade

Combine:

Olive oil
Mixed Herbs
Garlic
Lemon juice
Salt and black pepper

Use with:

• Chicken
• Lamb
• Beef
• Fish
• Vegetables

The recipe stays the same — simply change the main ingredient.

That's what makes Mixed Herbs such a useful everyday seasoning.

Use It in Dressings

Stir the blend into:

Olive oil
Lemon juice or vinegar
Mustard
Garlic

Allow it to stand briefly so the herbs soften.

Use over:

Green salads
Potato salad
Pasta salad
Roasted vegetables
