Herbes de Provence Recipes

Herbes de Provence is a fragrant dried herb blend associated with southern French cooking, typically featuring thyme, rosemary, savory, oregano, and marjoram, with lavender sometimes included. Its flavor is woodsy, floral, and savory, making it a simple way to add depth to roasted, grilled, and slow-cooked recipes.

Use Herbes de Provence in dishes that benefit from gentle herbal warmth, such as roast chicken, lamb, baked fish, vegetable gratins, tomato sauces, soups, and sheet-pan dinners. It works especially well with olive oil, garlic, lemon, tomatoes, and hearty vegetables.

Because the blend is dried, it performs best when added early enough to hydrate and release its aroma, such as in marinades, braises, roasted vegetables, and simmered sauces. For quick dishes, rub it between your fingers before adding to wake up the essential oils.
