Simple Herbs De Provence Recipe - 5 Basic Herbs
We favor this super simple herbs de Provence recipe of just 5 of the most common herbs used in French cuisine. It's easy to make and memorize to recreate whenever you need more. If you're growing herbs, then make it using fresh herbs for the very best flavor. Fresh Herbs to Dried Herbs Ratio is 2 to 1When using fresh herbs, you'll need double the amount of dried. While the fresh have a more potent flavor, dried herbs are a more concentrated quantity and flavor because the water content is removed but the flavor remains concentrated and undiluted. It's the same way a raisin is more intensely sweet and flavor packed as compared to a grape.
