Fine Herbs Recipe

Fine Herbs

Known for its delicate, bright, and fresh flavors, the fines herbes mixture is commonly used in dishes like salads, poultry recipes, and omelets.

Its mild flavor won’t overpower these dishes’ subtle flavors. Fines herbes are typically added at the end of cooking, as excessive heat or cooking time can deplete their gentle aroma and flavor.

To make your own fine herbs blend at home, use fresh herbs finely chopped with a knife, not a food processor as many believe will affect the flavor of the herbs.

Here is my recipe for fine herbs

Fine Herbs

Ingredients

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh chervil
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Method

  1. Combine the chopped herbs in a bowl

  2. Mix to combine

  3. Use at the end of cooking a dish to finish it off

If you have leftover amounts then place them in ice cube trays filled with water or stock and then freeze for use later. For the dried variety use equal qualities of the above in dried herbs and stir to combine. These should be used at the beginning of a recipe as you would normally use dried herbs. Then store this in an airtight container or jar.
