Tasty Notes By SpiceRally…
- Even though we have used several additional herbs here, please note that you can skip anything from fennel seeds, tarragon, chervil, lavender flowers, dill, and marjoram, depending on your preference. But savory, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and basil are a must in the recipe,
- If you don’t like whole fennel seeds in your recipe, you can coarsely grind them using your coffee grinder, food processor, or blender. But do not pulverize them into a fine powder.
- Make sure to use a dry spoon each time you scoop the blend out from the container.
- This will last flavorful for up to six months when stored in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Try to use new herbs as much as possible which are not closer to their expiry dates.
- If you need more pungency, you can also add a teaspoon of garlic and onion granules.
