Bouquet garni

Gather all the herbs and tie them together carefully with kitchen string:

• fresh thyme (2–3 sprigs);
• fresh rosemary (2–3 sprigs);
• fresh oregano or marjoram (2–3 sprigs);
• fresh parsley (3–4 stems);
• celery (1–2 stalks, optional).

Instead of string, you can wrap the herbs in cheesecloth to make extraction easier.

A bouquet garni can be used in various dishes, such as broths, soups, meat and vegetable stews, to impart a rich aroma and flavor.

Don’t forget to remove the bouquet garni from the finished dish before serving.
