Herbes de Provence with Lavender: The Weeknight Roasting Blend
Save
Our Herbes de Provence with Lavender is a little bit of the French countryside by way of West Michigan. It is a classic savory herb blend with a floral twist from culinary lavender, and it is our go-to for turning a plain weeknight dinner into something that tastes like you tried harder than you did.
What it tastes like
The flavor is earthy, herbaceous and aromatic, with lavender adding a gentle floral note in the background. Traditional herbes de Provence blends lean on savory Mediterranean herbs, and a little lavender is the floral touch many cooks associate with the style. Check the package for the full ingredient list and allergen information.
Where it shines
| Dish | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Roast chicken | Mix with soft butter or olive oil and rub under and over the skin |
| Pork or lamb | Press onto the meat with salt and pepper before roasting or grilling |
| Potatoes and vegetables | Toss with olive oil and salt before they go in a hot oven |
| Soups and stews | Add early so the herbs have time to soften and bloom |
| Dressings and butter | Whisk into vinaigrette or stir into soft butter for bread |
Our Herbes de Provence Honey Roast Chicken is the easiest place to start, and the roasted vegetables with honey goat cheese make a great side or a meatless main.
Tips from our kitchen
- Crush it first. Rub the blend between your palms over the pan to wake up the aroma.
- Bloom it in fat. A minute in warm olive oil or butter brings out more flavor than sprinkling it on at the end.
- Pair it with honey. A drizzle of honey with these herbs is a classic combination on roasted meats and vegetables.
- Go lighter on delicate foods. Eggs, fish and dressings need less than a pork roast.
Storing the blend
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark cupboard, not above the stove where heat and steam dull dried herbs. If the aroma is faint when you crush a pinch, it is time for a fresh bag.
Frequently asked questions
Will my dinner taste like perfume?
No. The lavender is a supporting note in a savory blend. Used at normal seasoning amounts, it reads as herbal and warm.
Is it a good gift?
Yes, especially for home cooks. Pair it with honey in the Gift Box Builder for a foodie basket.
