Mixed Herbs 20g
Our Dried Mixed Herbs blend combines classic Mediterranean herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. It’s your one-stop shake for adding instant, savoury flavour to pasta, pizza, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats.
Shake savoury flavour into everything:
Pasta & Pizzas: The essential sprinkle for pasta sauces, homemade pizzas, and garlic bread.
Grilled & Roasted Meats: Create simple, delicious rubs for chicken, lamb, and steak before cooking.
Roasted Vegetables: Toss potatoes, kumara, carrots, and courgettes in oil and a generous shake before roasting.
Soups & Stews: Stir into vegetable soups, broths, and casseroles for an instant herbal base
. Dips & Dressings: Mix into sour cream, yogurt, or olive oil for a quick herb dip or salad dressing.
How to Use: Add during cooking so the herbs have time to infuse their flavour into oils and liquids. Can also be used as a finishing garnish.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect the colour and potency of the herbs.
